There’s a problem…
• We all have wants.– Food– Cell phones– Good education– Crocs– Selfie sticks– Fashionable tape
dispensers• But you can’t always
get what you want.
![Page 3: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Problem: Economic Scarcity
• There’s not an infinite amount of resources– Raw materials– Workers– Time
• We have to make CHOICES

Who Owns the Factors of Production?
Land
Labor
Capital
Entrepreneurship

Planned Economy: Communism
“The theory of communism may be summed up in the single sentence: abolition of private property.”
![Page 8: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Planned Economy: Communism• True
communism a classless society
• Everyone owns the factors of production
• Everything distributed equally– No competition
![Page 9: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Produce needs, not wants2. Make needs as close to free as possible3. Treat workers better (safe, high wages,
benefits)4. No private property5. Economic equality6. Central planning of production7. No entrepreneurs
Communist Philosophy
![Page 10: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Greater income equality• Full employment• Fewer economic recessions• Production of goods and services is planned
to meet society’s needs• Consumers receive basic necessities
Advantages of Communism
![Page 11: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Lack of incentive• Low quality goods and services• Lower standards of living• Slow or stagnant economic growth• Lack of technological progress• Bureaucracies (planning creates inflexibility)• Black markets• Loss of individuality• Inefficient and widespread waste of resources
Disadvantages of Communism
![Page 12: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Examples of Communism
• China, Cuba, & the former Soviet Union…
• …except not really.• No country has ever
TRULY been communist
![Page 13: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Planned Economy: Socialism• Some private
property & some public ownership in control of industry
• Goal is to set collective objectives & provide equal access to resources– Education– Healthcare
![Page 14: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Socialist Philosophy• Socialism = many
economic rules (fewer rights)
• Price controls• High taxes• Cheap or “free”
healthcare, education• Safety for workers• Democratic
![Page 15: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Planned Economies“In both communism and socialism, there is economic planning, and the government, usually in the form of some bureaucratic agency, helps decide what to produce, how to produce it, and who gets it.”
![Page 16: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Planned Economies• If gov’t is completely
in control of economy, it is a command economy– Even decides # of
shoes to be produced!
![Page 17: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Market Economies
• Also called capitalist economies
• Individuals own factors of production– Gov’t stays out
• Gov’t has a laissez-faire approach to production, commerce, & trade
![Page 18: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Market Economies• Businesses make things,
not to do good for mankind, but to make dat $$ MoNeY $$
• Since consumers get to choose, producers need to make product with the right features at the right price– “Invisible Hand” of
economy
![Page 19: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Example: Cars
• If consumers prefer one company’s car, that business will profit more & have incentive to produce more cars
• Car companies that don’t will disappear
![Page 20: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Market Economies• Scarce resources will
go to most desired use & will be used efficiently
• If a business is wasteful & inefficient or makes something no one wants, another business will make a similar product better and/or cheaper
![Page 21: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
But if the Government Was in Charge
• Wouldn’t be able to quickly respond to changes in tastes & preferences
• Efficiency would suffer
![Page 22: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Invisible Hand
• Businesses & individuals meet society’s needs when they seek own self-interest
• Competitive markets w/ profit-seeking businesses have incentive to produce high-quality products as efficiently as possible
![Page 23: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Planned Economy: Communism
“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self interest.”
![Page 24: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Efficient use of factors of production• Faster economic growth• High-quality goods and services• Higher standards of living
Advantages of Capitalism
![Page 25: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Greater unemployment• Frequent economic recessions• Greater income inequality• Greater economic insecurity
Disadvantages of Capitalism
![Page 26: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Why Does Government Ever Intervene?So if markets are soooo perfect,
![Page 27: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What Free Markets Won’t Do…• Maintain rule of law– Law, police, courts,
etc.• Provide public
services– Roads, bridges,
education, defense
• Little profit in these areas, so gov’t must step in
![Page 28: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Mixed Economies
“Modern economies are neither completely free market nor planned. There’s a spectrum of government involvement.
![Page 29: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Mixed Economies• Most modern
economies have free markets AND gov’t intervention
• Can be explained by the circular flow model
![Page 30: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Circular Flow Model
Two key players in modern economies: households & businesses
![Page 31: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Circular Flow Model
Businesses sell goods & services to household. In order to buy goods & services, households sell resources (labor) to businesses.
![Page 32: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

My Pizzeria
• How would my pizzeria function under different economic systems?
![Page 34: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
My Pizzeria in a Free Market
• I answer the basic economic questions!• I determine how much cheese and pepperoni
goes on the pizza• I determine the quality of the cheese and
pepperoni• I set my employees wages• I set my business hours
![Page 35: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
My Pizzeria in a Command Economy• The government answers the basic economic
questions• The government sets the amount of cheese and
pepperoni on each pizza• The government determines quality of cheese
and pepperoni• The government sets employees wages• The government sets business hours
Problem: What does the government know about pizza?
![Page 36: Economic Systems. There’s a problem… We all have wants. – Food – Cell phones – Good education – Crocs – Selfie sticks – Fashionable tape dispensers But](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f4d5503460f94c6d5b5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
My Pizzeria in a Mixed Economy
• The Government and I both answer the basic economic questions
• I determine the amount of cheese and pepperoni on the pizzas; government determines the quality of cheese and pizza
• I set employee wages; government sets minimum wage for employees
• I determine business hours; government determines whether I am safe to be open or not
