Government/Econ Flashcards
There is no involvement by the government, so people are largely left to conduct economic activities without influence. Example: Bhutan and Haiti
Traditional Economy
Power is centralised either to the government or a sole ruler. The person with the power decides how economic interactions take place. Example: North Korea, Cuba, and Soviet Union
Command Economy
Production is owned and controlled by private enterprise rather than the government. The government dictates what goods and services should be produced. Example: New Zealand, Australia, and Switzerland
Market Economy
This is a mixture of capitalist and command economic systems. Some industries are controlled by the government while others are privately owned. But, with having both of the good things from each economy they also have a disadvantage from each economy. Example: US, Japan, and most of Europe.
