In Chapter one the topic that comes to my first thought is; I feel that I’ve gained a better insight to the various types of economic systems. This is an area that I feel I’ve often struggled with in many aspects. I have traveled to several places outside of the United States and have often heard of people speak of their economic system. I always wanted to understand what they were talking about and how it impacted their countries. In chapter one it gave me that opportunity. I was able to gain a better understanding of the different types of economic systems and how they functioned.
