The purpose of business is commonly perceived negatively by the general public. Most people believe that businesses are started solely for the purpose of making money for its investors. However, according to Mackey (2013), “business has the potential for a higher purpose; to improve our lives and create sustainable value for all stakeholders of a business”. During the interview Mackey (2013) says that “business creates the goods and services that make our lives better”. At any rate, most people still view business as a necessary evil until more businesses adopt the conscious capitalism philosophy.
The free enterprise system allows people to start their own businesses and also provides the right to compete for customers. Without the free enterprise system, America wouldn't even be known as the land of the free. Think In the early period of the USA, people wanted to move there because they liked the idea of being able to be free from strict government regulation. Also without free enterprise there wouldn't be much progress in both technology and in economic growth.

Mother Theresa once said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” I believe that that is an example of each person in a community. We may do individual affairs, but together, we can create something bigger than what we ever thought was possible. The community gives each one of us a taste of what
Well, let me start off by saying that without the five features in a free enterprise system, the economy wouldn't operate correctly. The five features are private property, choice, voluntary exchange, competition, and economic incentives. Some of these features the government can take and compensate you for the loss, such as private property, while others are made by the person and society as a whole. These features encounter in our everyday life, we all compete to be the best, we choose what and what we don't want to do. They just help the economy as a whole, not just a little section of the world.

The foundation of the United States economy is the foundation of free enterprise and market competition. The competitive market allows consumers to benefit from price reductions, increasing quality, and allowing consumers the freedom of choice. These ideas of free enterprise and market competition are so crucial that they are protected by Congressional antitrust laws. As the Supreme Court has explained, “Antitrust laws in general, and the Sherman Act in particular, are the Magna Carta of free enterprise. They are as important to the preservation of economic freedom and our free-enterprise system as the Bill of Rights is to the protection of our fundamental personal freedoms.” (Harris, pg. 197, 2014) The healthcare industry is incredibly
NTRODUCTION: A free enterprise system provides opportunities for individuals to make their own economic decisions, without restrictions from the government. It allows the supply and demand of consumers to determine the success or failure of an economic endeavor. As a result, some business owners have become successful, while others have not. An example of a successful business owner is Bill Gates. Bill gates is a very significant entrepreneur for our technology world. I chose Bill Gates because he created a very successful program that has helped students and other businesses. BODY #1: Free enterprise system allows businesses and companies to make their own decisions on how they will compete with their competitors. The free enterprise system
In 2014, the sector accounted for 3.8% of the annual Gross Domestic Product (Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2016). Over the past 15 years, the sector have experienced quite a fluctuations and endured a challenging time. Starting with a decent share of 4.5% in the year 2000, the construction sector experienced a frenzy growth with flourishing US economy till 2006. The sector was badly hit during the December 2007-June 2009 recession with a net employment decline of 19.8% (Hadi, 2011). The loss of 1.5 million employment was the largest decline amongst the nonfarm industries. Residential construction was the most badly hit with effect starting almost a year before the start of the actual recession. The market and condition of this housing industry has improved ever since but this improvement is coming at a considerably slower pace (U.S. Census Bureau, Housing units started in the United States (2000-2015), 2016). As a result, the companies need to prepare themselves to face any similar market failure in future. Development of a robust business model with diverse market penetration could be one of the options to grow and prepare for any similar catastrophe (Baack, Harris, & Baack,
