Bus/Financial - Economics | | Korean term or phrase: 경제생활은 가격을 중심으로 영위되는 가격생활이며 | Hello,
I am not sure what the first part of the sentence is trying to say.
The context of is article is a discussion on economics. So can I translate as,
경제생활: economic life
가격생활: price life
Not sure what they mean by 생활 here, as in life of a person within the economy or life cycle of the economy.
This is the full sentence.
경제생활은 가격을 중심으로 영위되는 가격생활이며, 가격은 수요와 공급을 조정하여 경제를 안정시키는 파라미터 기능을 가지고 있다
My translation:
The economic life is largely influenced by the price; this price acts as a parameter for supply and demand and therefore is a factor in stabilizing the economy. |

| Grading comment Thank you for the advice Lion,
I did get the essence of the sentence but wanted to make sure. I've never seen the use of the word 생활 this way because 생활 is only applied to someone who is alive and not the economy. Or is it referring to a generi
