Big IdeasAn economic system is the

way a society organizes the production and consumption of goods and services.

Four different key factors of production are necessary to produce goods and services.

The basis of the market economy is voluntary exchange. In the American economy, the exchange usually involves money in return for a good or service.

Economic growth occurs when a nation’s total output of goods and services, flowing in a circular motion among several sectors, increases.

Free enterprise is the freedom of individuals and businesses to operate and compete with a minimum of government interface or regulation.

The American economic system is the most successful in the history of the world.

Capitalism and Free Enterprise

The economy of the United States is built on free markets and private ownership. It is known as capitalism, and economic system in which private citizens own and use the factors of production in order to seek a profit.

wants and needs of the consumers (people).Consumer Sovereignty: the people are free to buy

Competition: the struggle between buyers and sellers to get the best products at the lowest prices.

Profit: the amount of money left over after all the costs of production have been paid. Profit drives our economy.
