Capitalist or Communist?

STRESSES THE NEEDS OF WHOLE GROUP OVER THE NEEDS OF THE INDIVIDUAL

IS MORE LIKELY TO HAVE LARGE GAPS BETWEEN THE RICH AND POOR

PEOPLE HAVE MORE FREEDOM TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR THEMSELVES

THE GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS TAKEN CARE OF, SO THERE WILL BE BASICALLY ONE BIG “CLASS”, RATHER THAN SEVERAL “CLASSES” SUCH AS UPPER, LOWER, AND MIDDLE

SOME PEOPLE ARGUE THAT THIS SYSTEM TAKES AWAY OUR MOTIVATION TO WORK HARD

PROPERTY, BUSINESSES, RESOURCES TO MAKE GOODS…..ARE PRIVATELY OWNED

THE GOVERNMENT IS MUCH LESS INVOLVED IN OUR LIVES IN THIS SYSTEM

CAPITALISM V. COMMUNISM

Capitalism – economic system in which private individuals and businesses carry on the production and exchange of goods and services

Communism - a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is shared equally by the community and all property is owned by the community, not individuals

CAPITALISM

• Property is privately owned by individuals

• Individuals/companies control production and exchange of goods and services

• Greater emphasis on individualism and self-interest; people are free to pursue their own self-interests and seek maximum gain/profit

• Much less government involvement/control of the economy

• Different classes

COMMUNISM

• Property is owned/shared by the community (no private ownership)

• Community/government controls

the production and exchange of goods and services (ex. Determines prices and salaries)

• De-emphasizes individualism and self-interest, greater emphasis on the community (“the greater good”)

• Great deal of government involvement/control of the economy

• One class
