Abstract

In ancient days the word labour is connected both with life and land. They believed that their life will be based on the land which they live. They had the best policy. The first grammar book in Tamil is Tolkappiyam and it not only lays down the rules for grammar in writing and speaking but it also tells people how to lead a better life in accordance with nature. Through this text we come to know know that during the Sangam period all industries were based on five types of landforms. All the industries related to life are food production industry and material production industry. Apart from these, other industries also existed in ancient times. Valluvar's in his poem states that there is no world for those who do not have material things. Material is essential for life. The production, accumulation and distribution of goods depends on the economic system of a society. Economy deals with the production that take place in a country and trading the left over to other countries
