Study Notes
How an Economy Works
- Until 1991, many countries had planned economies inspired by socialist ideology, but most have since transitioned to capitalist or mixed economies.
- Currently, only Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea, and Laos have planned economies.
- China has a market socialist economy, where private property is allowed, but the state still plans the basics of the economy.
Characteristics of a Capitalist Economy
- The system is regulated by the market (economy of market).
- Key features include:
- Freedom of the market, where prices are determined by supply and demand.
- Free competition among companies, leading to the growth of successful ones and the decline of unsuccessful ones.
- Private property, where individuals and companies own resources and have the right to accumulate wealth.
Advantages of Capitalism
- Most countries have adopted a capitalist system because it promotes wealth creation.
- The freedom of the market allows economic agents to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
- The system provides consumers with a wide variety of products at competitive prices.
Disadvantages of Capitalism
- One of the main problems is that free competition leads to inequality, as wealth is not distributed equally.
- The accumulation of wealth by large corporations can hinder real competition and influence political decisions.
- Excessive production and consumption have a severe environmental impact, threatening the well-being of future generations.
Mixed Economy
- A mixed economy combines elements of capitalism and socialism.
- The state plays a significant role in the economy, introducing regulations and supporting certain sectors.
- Examples include government intervention in the market, such as setting price limits to control housing prices.
- The state also provides public services and infrastructure to support economic activity.
