Modern economic systems can broadly be described as capitalism, communism, or socialism.

Capitalism is also called a market economy whereby the consumers help to determine what is produced. The government plays a very small part in capitalism.

Communism is when the government owns and operates basic industries “for the good of society”.

Governments can be classified by who holds the political power.

In a dictatorship, a leader gains power by force, in a democracy; the people hold the political power.

Monarchy is an inherited position.

Totalitarianism is the most extreme form of dictatorship.
