Country Differences 
IN 
Political Economy
Political Systems
Collectivism 
and 
individualism
Collectivism 
♦A political system that stresses the 
primacy of collective goals over 
individual goals. 
♦Advocated by Plato in the 
“Republic”.(347-427 BC) 
The republic argued that individual 
rights should be sacrificed for the 
good of the majority.
Socialism 
♦Modern socialists trace their 
intellectual roots to Karl Marx(1818-83) 
♦ Argued that the pay of workers does 
not reflect the full value of their labor. 
♦Advocated state ownership of 
production distribution, and 
exchange(businesses), thereby 
ensuring that workers were fully 
compensated for their labor.
Two Approaches 
Communists: 
Socialism is achieved through 
violent revolution. 
Social Democrats: 
Socialism is achieved through 
democratic means.
Political Systems 
(The system of government in a nation) 
Individualism: 
 Opposite of Collectivism. 
 Individual should have freedom in 
political and economic pursuits. 
 Advocated by Aristotle. 
 Private property is more highly 
productive than communal property 
and will thus stimulate progress
Political Systems 
 Hume (1711-1776) 
 Adam Smith (1723-1790) 
 John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) 
 Embodied in the U.S. 
Declaration of Independence.
Democracy and 
Totalitarianism 
• Democracy 
– Government by 
the people, 
exercised either 
directly or 
through elected 
representatives. 
• Totalitarianism 
– Government in 
which one person 
or political party 
exercises 
absolute control 
over all spheres 
of human life and 
opposing political 
parties are 
prohibited
Democracy 
–Safeguards to protect a 
democracy: 
• Right to freedom of expression, opinion, 
and organization. 
• A free media. 
• Regular elections in which all eligible 
citizens are allowed to vote. 
• Universal adult suffrage.
Democracy 
• A fair court system independent 
of the political system. 
• Relatively free access to state 
information.
Totalitarianism 
4 major forms: 
Communism 
• Collectivism is achieved through 
total dictatorship. 
Theocratic 
Political power is influenced by 
religious principles.
Totalitarianism

but restricts political freedom to prevent the 
rise of communism.
