Capital- money, infrastructure, equipment/production facilities
Entrepreneurship-creativity; inventiveness
Types of Economic Systems
Market Economy Mixed Economy Command Economy Custom-based EconomyEconomic systems are developed by
each nation based on resources of the country and how the nation wants to answer three basic questions in how
to use those limited resources
Market Economy
The market (consumers and businesses) answers the three basic economic questions:
What will be Produced- through purchases in marketplace
How products will be Produced- businesses decide this; competition spurs businesses to be efficient and produce to be price competitive
For Whom to produce- produce for whoever has money to purchaseIn a Pure Market Economy There is No Government Intervention
Command Economy
Government answers the basic economic questions:
What will be Produced- one person; dictator of group of government officials based on what they
believe is importantHow products produced- government owns all property and therefor controls how goods and
services producedFor Whom to produce- government decides this; in
principle wealth is shared equally to meet basic needs
The individual/companies have no input
Traditional EconomyTraditions and rituals answer
the three basic economic questions:What will be Produced- based on the traditions-
no choice in what to produce Ex: farming community that has farmed for generationsHow products produced- bound by tradition-
uses practices from generationsFor Whom to produce- Tradition regulates who
buys and sells and where and how exchange takes place
Cultural and religious practices passed down from one generation to another is basis for decisions
Mixed Economy
No economy is purely traditional, market, or command
Every economy has influences that make it somewhat mixed
Meaningful classification of economic systems is made based on how much a government interferes with free market
Three political philosophies shape world economies: Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism
Capitalism Marketplace competition Private ownership of business Embraces principles of free enterprise (Private
ownership, Risk, Profit, and Competition) Government is concerned about people and
cares for those who cannot care for themselves
Number of social services does not match that of a socialist country
Communisim
Government controls factors of production
No private ownership of property or capital
Theory is that goods owned in common (by government representing the community as a whole) are available to all as needed and that society is classless
Socialism Originally referred to a system on its way to the
communist ideal of a classless society Most socialist countries today have democratic political
institutions Differ in capitalist nations in the increased amount of
government involvement in the economy Main goal is to meet basic needs for all and to provide
employment for many
Characteristics include: more social services for everyone; free or low cost medical care; high taxes for business and individuals to pay for this. Government runs key industries
Free Enterprise
Used interchangeably with terms capitalism and market economy
Type of system in United States Four characteristics:
Private Ownership of Property & Business
RiskProfitCompetition
