Capitalism Economic system in which natural resources and the means of producing goods and services are privately owned. Private ownership of property Pursuit of personal profit Competition and consumer choice

Socialism Economic system in which natural resources and the means of producing are collectively owned Usually seen as a step between capitalism and communism Collective ownership of property Pursuit of collective goals Government control of the economy

Global Political Systems Monarchy – power is transferred from generation to generation in a single family Democracy – power is exercised by the people as a whole Authoritarianism – denies popular participation in government Totalitarianism – extensively regulates people’s lives
