Abstract
If the people living in a country live happily and contentedly, it means that there is good economic prosperity there. If the economy is prosperous, then they should have had the best thinking and planning in earning and spending the economy. As far as the Tamils of the Sangam age are concerned, the economic ideas have been explained more often by living and showing them than by speaking alone. Economic ideas are embedded in the way they lived. Therefore, if we study the way of life of the Tamils of the Sangam age, we will find out the way of life in which they lived with economic thought and the economic thought which was the basis for it. Thus, the purpose of this article is to bring out the ideas on the economy based on the way of life of the Tamils found in the Pattinapalai book, which is included in the Sangam literature, Pathupaattu.
