What Is an Economy? economy The organized way a nation provides for the needs and wants of its people. An economy X is the organized way a nation provides for the needs and wants of its people. A country’s resources determine economic activities such as: Manufacturing Buying Selling Transporting Investing

Resources resources All the things used in producing goods and services. factors of production Economic term for the four categories of resources: land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. Resources X are all the things used in producing goods and services. Economists use the term factors of production X when they talk about resources. These factors cover four categories: Land Labor Capital Entrepreneurship

Resources Land includes all the resources in the earth or found in the seas, for example: Coal Crude oil Trees Water

These natural resources are used as: Raw materials for the creation of goods and services Attractions for tourism Spain’s land—including its coasts, historical cities, and national parks—is an economic resource that makes the country an attractive tourist destination.

Resources Labor refers to all the people who work. It includes: Full- and part-time workers Managers Professionals in the public and private sectors Economies with well-trained labor have an advantage over other nations in attracting business.

Capital Capital includes money to start and operate a business, as well as the goods used in the production process like: Factories Office buildings Computers Tools

Capital infrastructure The physical development of a country, including its roads, ports, sanitation facilities, and utilities. Capital also includes infrastructure X, which is the physical development of a country, including: Roads Ports Sanitation facilities Utilities

Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship refers to the skills of people who are willing to invest their time and money to run a business. Entrepreneurs: Organize factors of production to create goods and services Employ the population

Scarcity scarcity The difference between what consumers want and need and what the available resources are. The difference between a country’s unlimited wants and limited resources is called scarcity X. It forces nations to make economic choices.

How Does an Economy Work? Nations need to answer three basic questions when deciding how to use their limited resources in order to define their economic system: Which goods and services should be produced? How should the goods and services be produced? For whom should the goods and services be produced?

How Does an Economy Work? There are three broad categories into which economic systems are classified: Traditional Market Command No economy is purely one type. It is always a combination.

Traditional Economies traditional economy Traditions and rituals that answer basic questions of what, how, and for whom. In a traditional economy X, traditions and rituals answer the basic questions of what, how, and for whom. What: If people belong to a farming community, they farm for generations. There is little choice as to what to produce. How: Again, this is bound by traditions. The practices of a family’s ancestors carry on. For whom: Tradition regulates who buys and sells and where and how the exchange takes place.

Market Economies market economy An economic system in which individuals and companies decide what will be produced, when, and how it will be distributed. In a pure market economy X, there is no government involvement in economic decisions. The market is free to answer: What: Consumers decide what should be produced in the market through which products they buy the most. How: Businesses decide how to produce goods and services by being competitive and out-selling their competitors. For whom: The people who have more money are able to buy goods and services. To make money, people are motivated to work and invest their income.

Command Economies command economy An economic system in which the government decides what, when, and how much will be produced and distributed. A command economy X is a system in which a country’s government makes economic decisions and decides: What: One person (often a dictator) or a group of government officials decides what products are needed. How: The government owns all means of production, so it makes the decisions. For whom: Wealth is regulated by the government to equalize everyone. Everything from housing to education is subsidized by the government.

Mixed Economies Because all economies in the world today are mixed, a meaningful classification depends on how much a government interferes with the free market.

Mixed Economies Economic systems can be put on a continuum to compare their respective levels of government involvement. Economic freedom to the right of the center encourages competition while systems to the left are more regulated by their governments.

Capitalism Capitalism is a political and economic philosophy characterized by marketplace competition and private ownership of business. The political system most frequently associated with capitalism is democracy. Capitalist countries include: The United States Japan

Communism Communism is a social, political, and economic philosophy in which the government controls the factors of production. Many believe there is no financial incentive for people to increase their productivity because the government regulates and assigns: Employment Medical care Education Housing Food

Examples of modern communist countries are: Cuba North Korea China Communism Examples of modern communist countries are: Cuba North Korea China

Socialism Socialist countries have an increased amount of government involvement in the economy, but the market is not completely controlled. The state will generally control noncompetitive companies in areas like: Telecommunications Natural resources (gas, water, and power) Transportation Banking

Socialism Modern countries with socialist elements in their economy include: Canada Germany Sweden

Socialism Today, many socialist countries are selling some of their state-run businesses to help balance the increasing costs of: National health care Unemployment Retirement programs This transfer of control is called privatization.

Developing or Developed Developing economies are mostly poor countries with little industrialization that are improving their infrastructure to become more prosperous. These countries need to improve: Education Technology Exports Means of production (roads, ports, utilities)

Developed economy While there is no one, set definition of a developed economy it typically refers to a country with a relatively high level of economic growth and security. Some of the most common criteria for evaluating a country's degree of development are: per capita income or gross domestic product (GDP) level of industrialization general standard of living amount of widespread infrastructure.

Ways to measure the economy There are several ways to measure the economic situation of a country. Some of these ways are….. Labor Productivity Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Standard of living Consumer Price Index (CPI) Unemployment Rates
