Leaders in BusinessThe U.S. economy survives because of the circular flow between businesses, consumers, and the government. Businesses buy resources from individuals and create products to sell to consumers. Individuals, or groups of individuals, create businesses and sometimes those very same people go onto become Chief Executive Officers of the business.
