The document summarizes the circular flow of economic activity between households and firms. It describes how goods, services, and money flow between the two sectors as households consume goods and services and firms produce goods and services. It also explains how the government and foreign sectors interact with households and firms through taxes, transfer payments, imports, and exports. The circular flow model illustrates that the economy functions as an interconnected system and that incomes received by one sector are spent on the goods and services of the other, keeping the flow of economic activity ongoing.
