Economic Systems Capitalism, Socialism & Communism Liberty or Equality?

Do Now: Respond to this question in your notebook-- Which is more important: Liberty or Equality? Why? Consider: What is Liberty? What is 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 the means of production (factories)

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) – Gov’t’s main job would be to protect the country 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. Private Property allows for the exploitation of the poor. 2. View of History – class struggle--bourgeoisie (middle class) vs. proletariat (working class). The government always sides with the wealthy bourgeoisie because they control the gov’t. 3. Dictatorship of the Proletariat – Capitalism would make the proletariat so poor –no choice but to have a violent revolution to overthrow the bourgeoisie, set up a dictatorship, seize control of the means of production, redistribute the wealth by force, and set up a classless society.

Communism Public (government) ownership of the means of production and extensive economic planning 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?
