Socialism and Communism Formed the basis of a Command economy. Based on the ideas of Karl Marx Socialism was in response how Serfs were treated in society.

Cottage Industries Cottage industries- usually small-scale industry carried on at home by family members using their own equipment.

Subsistence Farming Similar to Cottage industries; Subsistence agriculture is self-sufficiency farming in which the farmers focus on growing enough food to feed themselves and their families. Small plots of land Very little if any “Technology” Very low production level Very “Labor intensive” High Birth rates

Commercial Industries Commercial Industries are those that seek to produce items for a large profit. Will employ large number of workers Will produce items by machine Are privately owned Are common in developed countries

Commercial Farming Commercial agriculture is a large-scale production of crops for sale, intended for widespread distribution or export. Occurs in most developed nations. Large plots of land Primarily facilitated with technological assistance. Tractors/Harvesters Typically not labor intensive
