SS7E7 The student will analyze different economic systems.
a. Compare how traditional, command, and market economies answer the economic
questions of (1) what to produce, (2) how to produce, and (3) for whom to produce.
Four Major Economic Systems
Traditional
Command
Market
Mixed
- most countries have mixed economies, somewhere between pure market and pure
command.
Traditional
Most traditional economies are found in agricultural, non-industrial countries.
The elders of society make the major economic decisions. These decisions are
often based on the traditions of the culture.
Traditional
Trade often occurs through barter and the simple exchange of goods or services.
The economy is at the subsistence (farming) level, the level at which most
people’s basic needs are met.
Traditional
This type of economy does not usually grow or progress much. Basic needs are
the only necessities that are met.
Cultural traditions often hold back the development of new products and trade.
Command
All aspects of the economy (factories, public services, and land) are owned
by the government. There is no private ownership.
One person or group holds total economic control over the country. This
person or group makes all of the economic decisions determining what and how
much is to be produced.
Command
The decision makers can quickly made changes to adjust to economic conditions.
They face little or no opposition.
Command economies hold back innovation and personal development among the
people. There is no incentive and people have little or no opportunity to
develop or improve conditions.
Command
The top priorities of a society is determined by the government and then goods
and services are produced to meet the people’s needs. All people receive an
equal amount of goods and services.
The country’s decision makers determine the goods and services produced.
These decisions actually advance the government and its leaders, not the people.
Market
All decisions in the economy are made by the privately owned businesses
without control from the government.
The main factors that control the economy are supply and demand. Supply and
demand is determined by the market’s (the people’s) personal interests and
desires.
Market
Decisions are made by businesses based on what the competition is doing, what
labor and raw materials are available, and what is the least expensive way to
produce the most amount of goods and services to make the greatest profit.
Market
Freedom of choice is preserved in all aspects of the economy. Individuals and
businesses decide what to produce, how much, and for whom. People are free to
decide what they want to buy and sell. The people also decide what they want
to do for a living.
Market
The goods and services produced are determined by what the people want and how
much they are willing to pay.
Competition among individuals and businesses encourages innovation and
creativity. Being able to do something better than the competition allows a
business or an individual to prosper and grow.
Market
Because of free choice and competition, goods are produced by the most modern
and efficient methods. This results in products that are high in quality, high
in quantity, and less expensive.
Market
There is an uneven distribution of wealth among the people. Wealth goes to
individuals who can make the greatest profit through hard work, talent, and
creativity. They also profit from their ability to produce goods and services
at the cheapest rate and sell them for the highest price.
Market
There is no government regulation of the economy. If individuals or businesses
cheat or produce inferior products or services, eventually the market will
stop buying from them. Then they will be forced to change or go out of business.
Mixed
Mixed economies contain various aspects of all three major economic types.
All three of the systems are present, but one is a stronger influence than the
others.
Over time, the three economic systems become more or less dominant in a mixed
economy as the government and the market try to satisfy the needs of the people.
South Asia’s Economy
South Asia’s Economy
Service sector is the fastest growing part of S. Asia’s economy.
In India, developing computer software, manning call centers, etc., otherwise
known as outsourcing.
India now has the world’s fourth-largest economy and the world’s largest
middle-class.

Most people live near bodies of water, in flat areas where they can grow
crops, and in areas with good climate and adequate rainfall.

dense populations.
