Economic Systems
How the Government influences
how I make money.
Quick Review:
• Take out a sheet of paper and answer the
following questions:
– What are Goods?
– What are Services?
– What are Resources?
– What is Scarcity?
Economic Systems
• Def. The method used by a society to
produce and distribute goods and
services.
• Or, How the government tells us what we
can get and how to get it!
All Economic Systems Must
Consider the Following Questions:
1. What goods and services to produce?
2. How will they produce them?
3. Who will get them?
4. How much will they produce now, and
how much later?
• Each economic system answers these
questions in a DIFFERENT WAY.
Types of Economic Systems
There are 3 basic types of economic
systems.
1. Traditional Economy
• Economic questions are answered by
habits and customs (the way it has always
been done)
• Children work the same jobs parents
worked, often farming or hunter/gatherer
• Fear Change!
• Ex. Eskimos, the Amish,
Pigmies, Bush People
2. Command Economy
• The government answers the basic
economic questions
• Advantages: able to act quickly in
emergencies, provide for all people
equally
• Disadvantages: Inefficient, no incentive to
work hard or be creative
• Ex. Communist Countries (China,
Vietnam, North Korea, former
Soviet Union, Cuba)
3. Free Market Economy
• Economic questions are answered by
individual buyers and sellers.
• Supply and demand influence economy
• People act out of self interest; motive for
profit (money) drives the economy
• Also known as FREE ENTERPRISE or
CAPITALISM
• Ex. The United States, Western
Europe, Japan
I lied!
• I said there were 3 types of economic
systems, but there is a 4th!
• Mixed Economy: No economy is pure
market, pure command or pure traditional,
elements of each appear in all economies,
some have more elements of one
economy than another.
Market Mixed Command
USA Great Britain China
American Mixed Economy
• While the United States is mostly a free
market economy, it does have elements of
a command economy.
Features of American Free Market
Economy
1. Economic Freedom: individuals have the
right to choose
2. Competition: more than one producer of
good/services insures choice
3. Private Property: individuals have the
right to own their own property, including
business
Features of American Free Market
Economy (cont)
4. Self-Interest: individuals make
decisions based on what is best for them
5. Voluntary Exchange: individuals may
freely buy and sell goods
6. Profit Motive: individuals are driven by a
desire to profit (make money)
Features of American Command
Economy
1. Government regulation of some business
practices
• Ex. Wages, labor hours,
safety practice.
2. Government limits certain choices
• Ex. Cannot buy or produce certain
goods/services
3. Government provides aid to the needy
• Ex. Medicare, Medicaid, welfare
My Pizzeria
• How would my pizzeria function under
different economic systems?
My Pizzeria in a Free Market
• I answer the basic economic questions!
• I determine how much cheese and
pepperoni goes on the pizza
• I determine the quality of the cheese and
pepperoni
• I set my employees wages
• I set my business hours
My Pizzeria in a Command
Economy
• The government answers the basic
economic questions
• The government sets the amount of
cheese and pepperoni on each pizza
• The government determines quality of
cheese and pepperoni
• The government sets employees wages
• The government sets business hours
Problem: What does the government know
about pizza?
My Pizzeria in a Mixed Economy
• The Government and I both answer the
basic economic questions
• I determine the amount of cheese and
pepperoni on the pizzas; government
determines the quality of cheese and pizza
• I set employee wages; government sets
minimum wage for employees
• I determine business hours; government
determines whether I am safe to be open
or not
