  6. Market Economy The market (consumers and businesses) answers the three basic economic questions: What will be Produced- through purchases in marketplace Howproducts 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 purchase In a Pure Market Economy There is No Government Intervention

  7. 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 important How products produced- government owns all property and therefor controls how goods and services produced For Whom to produce- government decides this; in principle wealth is shared equally to meet basic needs The individual/companies have no input

  8. Traditional Economy Traditions 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 generations How products produced- bound by tradition- uses practices from generations For 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

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
