I'm wondering why the definite article "the" was used before the noun "production". Could anyone of you try to explain the reason to me, please? Or is it a mistake and the definite article should be left out? |
"for" should be there rather than "of". You need the article here as it is a specifying of aspects relating to the creation and management of wealth.
