A market economy relies on specialization by households and firms, with profit as an incentive for businesses to produce goods that consumers demand through competition, resulting in economic efficiency and growth. In contrast, a command economy gives the government control over allocation of resources and production, which can lead to shortages, low quality goods, and less incentive for production due to the lack of consumer choice and profit incentives.

2.economic system and the american economy
The document summarizes the key characteristics of different economic systems and the American mixed economy. It discusses the three questions all economic systems must answer, and defines traditional, command, market, and mixed economies. It then describes the six major characteristics of a pure market economy: little government control, freedom of enterprise, freedom of choice, private property, the profit incentive, and competition. Finally, it identifies the main goals of a free enterprise system as economic freedom, efficiency, equity, security, stability, and growth.
Economic Systems
The document describes three main types of economic systems - traditional, command, and market - and how they each answer the three basic economic questions of what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce. It also explains that most modern economies exist along a continuum between the purely market-driven and purely command-driven models, incorporating elements of both through government intervention and private enterprise.
Economics lesson 2
The document discusses economic systems and the basic economic questions of what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce. There are four main types of economic systems - traditional, command, market, and mixed - that answer these questions in different ways. Most economies today are mixed, combining elements of traditional, command, and market systems. The US and other nations also have economic goals that sometimes conflict, such as efficiency, equity, and growth, requiring policymakers to prioritize which goals to focus on first.
Types of-economic-systems
There are three basic types of economic systems: traditional, command, and market. Most textbooks say the most common system throughout the world is mixed, which is a blending of two systems rather than a system itself. The type of economy a country has depends on the extent of government involvement in economic decision making. Examples are given of different countries and the percentage of public vs private sectors, with most modern economies being mixed. The three basic economic questions are what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce.
Pe unit 1 student notes
This document provides an introduction to economics, including its key concepts and the American economic system. It discusses that economics is the study of how people use limited resources to satisfy unlimited wants. It also covers the three basic economic questions of what, how, and for whom to produce. Additionally, it explains the characteristics of the American mixed economy, including limited government role, freedom of enterprise and choice, the profit incentive, private property rights, and competition.
Economic Systems
The document provides an overview of command and free market economic systems. A command economy is one where production, investment, prices, and incomes are determined by the government according to a central plan. A free market economy allows prices to be set by competition between privately owned businesses. The document outlines the key principles of each system, including economic freedom and private property in free markets versus government control and ownership in command economies. Both systems are evaluated in terms of their strengths and limitations.
Different types of economic systems
The document provides an overview of business concepts and economic systems. It discusses the key factors of production, different types of economic systems including planned and market economies, and characteristics of the US mixed market economy. The US system uses private enterprise, markets, supply and demand, and varies levels of competition. Economic goals include stability, full employment, and growth, which are assessed using measures like GDP, productivity, and balance of trade. Government policies around fiscal and monetary policies help manage the economy.
Chapter 1 - Econ
This document provides an overview of introductory economics concepts. It defines economics as the study of how people try to satisfy unlimited wants through scarce resources. It discusses the three basic economic questions of what, how, and for whom to produce. The four factors of production are outlined as land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. The document also defines needs versus wants, and explains why economics is considered a social science.

Basic Economic Questions
The document discusses the basic economic questions that all systems must answer: 1) What goods and services will be produced? 2) How will they be produced? 3) Who will get the goods and services? It focuses on how a market system answers these questions. A market system relies on private property, competition, and markets to determine: 1) What is produced based on supply and demand. 2) Production uses the least-cost combination of inputs. 3) Goods go to those able and willing to pay for them by exchanging valuable labor or assets.
Chapter 2 PowerPoint
The document summarizes key aspects of different economic systems and goals. It discusses three main types of economic systems - traditional economies, command economies, and market economies - providing examples of each. It then outlines seven major economic goals shared by most Americans: economic freedom, economic efficiency, economic equity, economic security, full employment, price stability, and economic growth. The document analyzes each of these goals in one to two paragraphs.
Economic systems and economic goals
Economic systems evolved to deal with scarcity by answering key economic questions about production, distribution, and consumption. They also determine ownership and coordination of production factors. Main economic systems goals include economic freedom, equity, efficiency, security, stability, and growth. Freedom concerns a free marketplace with limited government intervention. Equity is fair outcomes for all parties. Efficiency means fulfilling needs with maximized resources. Security is stable income and resources to support living standards now and in the future. Stability refers to absence of fluctuations while growth is increased capacity to produce over time.
Economic system
An economic system is how a nation controls and distributes its resources and factors of production. There are three main types: a command economy where the government controls most resources and industries, a market economy where resources are allocated based on supply and demand with limited government involvement, and a mixed economy which combines elements of both command and market economies. Most countries today have mixed economic systems.
Economic systems
An economy is defined as the way a nation makes choices about using its scarce resources to produce and distribute goods and services. There are three basic economic choices: what to produce, how to produce it, and who receives it. These choices create three types of economic systems - capitalist, socialist, and mixed. A capitalist system relies on private ownership and free markets, while a socialist system involves public or state ownership and central planning. A mixed economy combines elements of both systems, with a role for both private enterprise and government intervention.

Combining supply and demand
This document summarizes the concepts of supply and demand economics, including:
1) Equilibrium is reached at the price where quantity supplied equals quantity demanded. This is shown as the point where the supply and demand curves intersect on a graph.
2) Disequilibrium occurs when quantity supplied does not equal quantity demanded, resulting in either excess demand or excess supply.
3) Excess demand happens when demand is greater than supply, which can be resolved by suppliers raising prices to encourage less demand. Excess supply is when supply exceeds demand, which may lead to lower prices to boost demand.
Scarcity
Scarcity exists because it is not possible to have everything we want and need. Scarcity and wants and needs determine how we make choices and allocate our limited resources between goods and services. There are four factors of production that affect business - land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. Both physical capital and human capital are required in our economy.

This document contains several short passages about the author's life experiences at different ages and points in time, including their birthday, a soccer team photo, what it's like to be their age, what's popular in their life, a typical day, talents and things they enjoy bragging about. It also includes a list of 16 things the author wishes they could do and references the song "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus.
Externalities
Goods can be classified based on whether consumption is rival or nonrival and whether people can be excluded from consumption. Rival goods have limited availability while nonrival goods can be consumed by many without reducing supply. Excludable goods can limit users to those who pay while nonexcludable goods are available even without payment. Some economic activities create external costs or benefits for third parties not involved in the production or consumption through pollution, landscaping effects, and other impacts, with potential issues of free riding.
Chapter 4~the private sector
The private sector refers to the part of the economy owned by individuals and operated for personal benefit. Exchanges in the private sector contribute to economic efficiency as individual choice and competition improve efficiency. Private goods are owned privately and benefit only their owners, while the public sector is owned by society as a whole. Private sector exchanges involve both parties benefitting as buyers and sellers transact. Efficiency results from businesses achieving maximum benefit from resources, and competition forces less efficient companies out of the market to the advantage of consumers. The private sector market establishes prices through competition and provides choices to satisfy consumers. Producers must meet consumer wants and needs efficiently to succeed against other producers.
The market structure
The document defines key terms related to market structure and perfect competition, including marginal cost, marginal revenue, total cost, and total revenue. It then outlines the characteristics of a perfectly competitive market: many buyers and sellers so that no single participant can influence prices; identical products being sold; buyers and sellers having perfect information; and easy entry and exit into the market. Perfect competition results in the market determining prices based on supply and demand forces.
Price elasticity of demand
Price elasticity of demand measures how responsive the quantity demanded of a product is to changes in its price. It is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. Demand is elastic if the elasticity is greater than 1, meaning quantity responds more than proportionally to price changes. Demand is inelastic if elasticity is less than 1, meaning quantity does not change much with price changes. When demand is inelastic, increases in price can raise total revenue, while elastic demand means decreases in price may raise total revenue.
The history of the american bank
The document discusses the history of banking in America before and after the Civil War. [1] Before the Civil War, banks were informal businesses run by merchants that were not always stable if the merchant failed. [2] After the Revolution, leaders agreed a stable banking system was needed to support trade, but there were two opposing views - Federalists supported a centralized system while Antifederalists wanted state control. [3] The First Bank of the U.S. was established but its charter expired in 1811, leading to instability until the National Banking Acts after the Civil War established federal control over banking.
Poverty
The document discusses the causes and measurement of poverty in the United States. It defines poverty thresholds as income levels below which a family cannot meet its basic needs, which vary by family size. Factors that contribute to poverty include lack of education, unemployment, low wages, discrimination, economic shifts eliminating manufacturing jobs, increased rates of single-parent households, and lack of skills needed in a changing economy. The document encourages students to research in-demand skills and degrees for the next decade to avoid economic hardship.
Banking in the early 20th century
The document discusses banking in the early 20th century in the United States, including the role of the Federal Reserve in managing the money supply and the national currency. It describes the Great Depression and the banking reforms that followed, including FDR establishing the FDIC to insure deposits and restore faith in banks. Banking became more regulated by the federal government initially but saw deregulation in later decades as banks pushed for relief from regulation.
Money and banking
Money serves three main uses: as a medium of exchange to determine value during transactions, as a unit of account to compare values of goods and services with consistent pricing, and as a store of value by maintaining purchasing power over time if saved, though inflation can impact this. Money must also have characteristics like durability, portability, divisibility, uniformity, limited supply, and general acceptability to function effectively.
Public goods
The document discusses public goods and services, private goods, and the differences between them. It explains that public goods are nonexcludable and jointly consumed, meaning many people can benefit from the good at once and non-payers cannot be prevented from using the good. Some key characteristics of public goods are shared consumption and non-exclusion. The document also discusses why governments provide public goods, giving examples of goods and services that are public or private.
