What is a good? A good is something we want to sell. So good during the Colonial period of Georgia are typically things that can be grown. For example silk, rice, and indigo were the biggest goods during that time. Other goods were lumber, tobacco and furs.
What is a service? A service is non-physical, intangible parts of our economy, things that one might do in exchange for money. In today's time, babysitting, lawn mowing, or a hair cut.
Services during the colonial times could be the following: blacksmiths, silversmiths, tailors, or potters.
