Economics  What?  How?  Who?

Economic System:  A particular set of social institutions which deals with the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services in a society.

4 Types of Economic systems  Traditional: tradition and custom govern economic decisions (tribes, ethnic groups)  Command: government makes all economic decisions  Market: Economic decisions are made by individuals competing to earn profits based on supply and demand  Mixed: combines elements of pure market and command economies

Economic Systems Capitalism, Socialism & Communism Liberty or Equality?

Capitalism  Maximizes liberty  Adam Smith – 1776 – “The Wealth of Nations”  “Free Enterprise” – everyone is free to pursue any economic activity  Laissez-Faire – do not interfere in the economy  Freedom to succeed and freedom to fail  Private ownership of capital (means of production)

Capitalism  Profit is the motivator, competition is the regulator (not government)  Under pure capitalism, almost all goods would be provided by the private sector (small government) – police, courts, military (even schools and the fire department could be private goods)  Do not tax the rich more than the poor – no redistribution of income  Good of the individual is above society

Communism  Maximizes Equality  Karl Marx – “The Communist Manifesto”  Industrial Revolution – Europe – horrible working conditions - critique of capitalism  1. View of History – class struggle (bourgeoisie and proletariat)  2. Labor Theory of Value – all value comes from labor  3. Nature of the State – the state (government) always sides with the rich  4. Dictatorship of the Proletariat – poor must overthrow the government and set up a classless society

Communism  Public (government) ownership of the means of production  “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”  Workers run the factories – everyone earns an equal amount  Lots of government intervention in the economy to promote equality  Good of society is above the individual

Socialism  Mix of Equality and Liberty  Between pure capitalism and pure communism  Some private ownership and some public ownership of property  Some government intervention in the economy  Redistribution of income – high taxes on the rich to provide lots of government services  Examples of government programs like this in the USA?

 Roads, Bridges  Military  Public librarys  Police  Fire Depts
