Public Policy #2 Economic Policy

Economic Policy – relationship between government & economy Laissez-faire / Free Market / Capitalism: Owners make all economic decisions – what to produce, how much, etc.

“Invisible hand” of competition regulates the economy (Adam Smith) –Businesses with a good product at low prices will stay in business Wal-mart

Prices (including labor) are determined by supply and demand –What are people willing to pay for a particular product? Bottle of Pepsi VS. diamond ring Tennis shoes VS. Air Jordan's Janitor's wages VS. doctor’s wages

Supply & Demand If shortage (high demand / low supply) – price goes up –Concert tickets If surplus (low demand / high supply) – price goes down –Beanie babies

No laws regulating business: –No min wage –No max hours –No health / safety protections

Controlled Economy Communism The govt makes all the economic decisions including what to produce, prices, wages, etc –Not determined by what sells, but what is best according to the gov Individuals are taxed heavily and gov uses money as it sees fit

How this looks… Soviet Union used resources on building military not consumer products – cars or food

Mixed Market A free market w/some government regulation –EX: wages are determined by owners but there is a minimum wage all owners must pay –EX: products are determined by owners but must meet safety / health requirements Current US economic system

How Gov Regulates Economy Subsidy: any government aid given to encourage something –Grant / loan College –Tax break Govt Regulation: –Quality Reg: FDA

Gov Regulation Production Reg : Environmental laws –Ex: Clean Air Act: mandated that air is clean, EPA can fine if not meeting minimum standards Labor Reg : Max hours, minimum wage, safety, etc.

Compare & Contrast Answer the following for Controlled Market, Free Market, and Mixed Market Economies Who profits from this system? Who gets hurt in this system? What is one advantage of this system? What is one disadvantage of this system?
