Remembering Mother Teresa

motherteresaToday the world remembers one of the greatest humanitarians. Though this is an irony that we write about Mother Teresa on the day she departed.

The thesaurus defines commodity as a product, service, goods or article of trade. Commoditization led to the birth of economy; and all this started thousands of years ago with the birth of civilization. The most important factor in an economy is money.
