1. Economicsystem
An economic system is a mechanism (social institution)which deals with the production, distribution and consumption of goods and servicesin a particular society. The economic system is composed of people, institutionsand their relationships to resources, such as the convention of property. Itaddresses the problems of economics, like the allocation and scarcity ofresources.
1.1 The division ofeconomic systems
There are several basic and unfinished questions thatmust be answered in order to resolve the problems of economics satisfactorily.The scarcity problem, for example, requires answers to basic questions, suchas: what to produce, how to produce it, and who gets what is produced. Aneconomic system is a way of answering these basic questions. Different economicsystems answer them differently.
There is often a strong correlation between certain ideologies,political systems and certain economic systems (for example, consider themeanings of the term "communism"). Many economic systems overlap eachother in various areas (for example, the term "mixed economy" can beargued to include elements from various systems). There are also variousmutually exclusive hierarchical categorizations.
The basicand general economic systems are:
В·Market economy (the basisfor several "hands off" systems, such as capitalism).
В·Mixed economy (acompromise economic system that incorporates some aspects of the marketapproach as well as some aspects of the planned approach).
В·Planned economy (the basisfor several "hands on" systems, such as socialism).
В·Traditional economy (ageneric term for the oldest and traditional economic systems)
В·Participatory economics (arecent proposal for a new economic system)
An economic system can be considered a part of the socialsystem and go home hierarchically equal to the law system, political system, culturalsystem, etc.
2. List by hands-onand hands-off
Typically, "hands-on" economic systemsinvolve a greater role for society and/or the government to determine what getsproduced, how it gets produced, and who gets the produced goods and services,with the stated aim of ensuring social justice and a more equitabledistribution of wealth (see welfare state). Meanwhile, "hands-off"economic systems give more power to certain private individuals (or corporations)to make those decisions, rather than leaving them up to society as a whole, andoften limit government involvement in the economy.
The primary concern of "hands-on" economicsystems is usually egalitarianism, while the primary concern of"Hands-off" economic systems is usually private property. Libertarianstarget individual economic freedom as a primary goal of their"Hands-off" policies.
The following list divides the main economic systemsinto "hands-on" and "hands-off," it attempts to structurethe systems in a given section by alphabetical order and in a verticalhierarchy where possible.
3. Types of economic systems
3.1. Market economy
A market economy (also called a free market economy ora free enterprise economy) is an economic system in which the production anddistribution of goods and services take place through the mechanism of freemarkets guided by a free price system. In a market economy, businesses andconsumers decide of their own volition what they will purchase and produce.Technically this means that the producer gets to decide what to produce, howmuch to produce, what to charge to customers for those goods, what to payemployees, etc., and not the government. These decisions in a free-marketeconomy are influenced by the pressures of competition, supply, and demand.This is often contrasted with a planned economy, in which a central governmentdecides what will be produced and in what quantities.
No pure market economy exists. Thus, almost alleconomies in the world today are mixed economies which combine varying degreesof market and command economy traits. For example, in the United States thereare more market economy traits than in Western European countries.
3.2. Mixed economy
A mixed economy is an economy that has a mix ofeconomic systems. It is usually defined as an economy that contains both private-ownedand state-owned enterprises [1] or that combines elements of capitalism and socialism, or a mix of marketeconomy and command economy.
There is not one single definition for a mixedeconomy, but relevant aspects include: a degree of private economic freedom(Including privately owned industry) intermingled with centralized economicplanning (which may include intervention for environmentalism and socialwelfare, or state ownership of some of means of production).
For some states, there is not a consensus on whetherthey are capitalist, socialist, or mixed economies. Economies in states rangingfrom the United States to Cuba have been termed mixed economies. By mostdefinitions, Canada could be referred to as a mixed economy, as Canadian healthcare is nationalized in order to provide health care free of charge.
3.3. Planned economy
A planned economy (also known as command economy andcentrally planned economy) is an economic system in which the state or governmentcontrols the factors of production and makes all decisions about their use andabout the distribution of income. In such an economy, the planners decide whatshould be produced and direct enterprises to produce those goods. Plannedeconomies are in contrast to unplanned economies, ie a market economy, whereproduction, distribution, and pricing decisions are made by the private ownersof the factors of production based upon their own interests rather than uponfurthering some overarching macroeconomic plan.
A planned economy may either consist of state ownedenterprises, private enterprises who are directed by the state, or acombination of both. Though "planned economy" and "commandeconomy "are often used as synonyms, some make the distinction that undera command economy, the means of production are publicly owned. That is, aplanned economy is "an economic system in w...
