17 Who makes the decisions within each economic system?

18  On your notes page, list 2 things you already know or want to know about the four economic systems.  Traditional  Free Enterprise  Communism  Socialism

19  Every society has limited resources.  This means no society has enough goods and services to meet the needs of everyone.  Because of this, each society must answer three economic questions.

20  What should be produced?  How should it be produced?  Who should get it?

21  The way in which society answers the economic questions is known as its “economic system.”  Traditional  Free Enterprise  Communist  Socialist

22  Economic Decisions – custom and tradition determine what should be produced, how it should be produced and for whom.  Production – based on custom and time- honored methods. New ideas are discouraged. Very little change or growth.  Private Property – no private property. Things are owned by the family or village.  Trade – goods and services are produced to meet the needs of the members of the family or tribe only. Very little trade with outsiders.

23  Mostly found in rural, isolated areas  Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert of South Africa  Berber tribesmen of Algeria  Villages in South Asia

24  Private Property – people have a right to own private property and use this property as they see fit with limited interference from the government.  Free Enterprise – people are free to take part in any business, buy any product or sell any legal product. Businesses can lower prices, provide better quality, advertise, etc. to attract customers.  Profit Motive – the ability to make profits is what drives people to risk their money to start a new business.  Supply & Demand – determines prices. When demand is high, the price goes up. If the supply is high but demand is low, the price goes down.

26  Mostly found in countries with commercial agriculture and commercial industries.  United States  United Kingdom  Canada  Japan  Singapore  Chile  France  Germany  (MDC’s)

27  Role of Government – all major decisions on production, distribution and use of resources are made by the government.  Private Property – no private ownership. The nation or government owns all land, factories, farms and major resources.  Cooperation – all workers labor together and share equally.  Major Goal – to achieve a “classless” society – equality among all workers.

28  At one time there were MANY communist countries, but they were unable to keep up with the goods created by free enterprise systems.  China – taking steps toward free enterprise.  North Korea  Vietnam  Cuba

29  Role of Government – government uses its power to bring an end to poverty by taking control of the major resources of the nation and providing public services.  Economic Decisions – many decisions about production, distribution and the use of resources are made by the government. Other decisions are made privately.  Private Property – major industries are owned by the government. Other property is owned privately.  Major Goal – seeks a fairer distribution of income among society. People’s basic needs are met for free or at a very low cost. (healthcare, transportation, housing, education)

30  After World War II, most countries in Western Europe became Socialist, but many moved toward privatization in the 1980’s and 1990’s.  Today:  Sweden  Venezuela  Israel

31  In the real world, no economy TOTALLY follows one economic system.  Most countries have economies that blend features of each.  Countries can be classified on a spectrum ranging from free enterprise to communist based on how much control the government has. Free EnterpriseCommunism Socialism

32  On your notes page, use what you’ve learned to fill in the “who makes the decisions” chart.  You may work with a partner.  Then draw a picture representation of each type of economic system.  Next class period we will look at specific countries and place them on a economic systems spectrum.

33  You will be placed in groups of 4.  Assign the following duties:  Time Keeper – keeps time and keeps group on task  Librarian – reads information  Secretary – gather materials and keeps notes  Illustrator – draws spectrum and records countries  ALL GROUP MEMBERS – PARTICIPATE IN DISCUSSION

34  Materials:  Country packet  1 sheet of notebook paper  Pen/pencil  Butcher/construction paper  1 or 2 markers

35  Instructions:  Read each country’s economic information  Determine what type of economic system each country has and take notes over characteristics of each country  Draw an “Economic System Spectrum” on butcher/construction paper. (see example)  Review notes from each country and decide where each country should be placed on the spectrum  Be ready to support your group’s decisions
