In a public enterprise economy, the government has the power to nationalize any or all industries which can lead to devastating consequences. One the countries famous for doing this was the Soviet Union. Joseph Stalin, the then dictator of the Soviet Union instituted two domestic policies that would eliminate any capitalism in Russia. He would institute rapid industrialization and the collectivization of agriculture.This would be known as the Five Year Plan. Stalin wanted to change all private owned farms into state owned farms as he thought this would improve agricultural productivity. This grain was then expected to feed all the urban workers and any surplus would pay for programs and factories related to industrialization. He would put …show more content…

Bill Gates is the richest man alive he owns microssoft, with the help of free enterprise that why its so essential to have hen trying to create a buisness.Functioning of national economies and the world economy is based on economic resources or the factors of production – natural, labor, capital (in the form of real capital, in the form of means of production, and financial, cash), scientific (scientific, technical, informational knowledge) and business ones.
What is the main purpose of the economic system? The main purpose of the economic system is method used to produce and distribute goods and service. The three economic questions are: “What goods should be produced?” “How should these goods and services be produced” And “Who consumes these goods and services?” The characteristic of a market economics is that self-interest is the motivating force in the free market, self regulating market. The interaction of buyers and sellers motivated by self-interest and regulated by competition, all happen without a central plan. In a market economy, economic decisions are made by individuals and are based on exchange or trade. However, characteristics of a command economic
resulting in a far more communist state. This obviously gives the government a far more autocratic role in their economic policy in contrast to the free market economy. Products are designed with the incentive to meet consumer needs rather than to meet the wants of the richest. This way is far more practical towards ensureing the production of necessary goods. This type of economy works under the public sector- everything is funded and controlled by the central government.
In the United States, citizens have the freedom to speak their mind whether they are speaking about minimum wage, poor working conditions or government policies. Americans have the freedom to choose where they want to live, what kinds of jobs they want to work and have the option to travel across the world without restrictions. U.S citizens have the ability to have whatever kind of religious beliefs they want and can choose whether or not to attend church. The American system was superior because it allowed citizens to choose their own path in life without having to follow the masses. Not only that but the economic system was "booming" in the United States faster than the Soviet Unions.
1. Law enforcement agencies seek for lawbreakers to create problems in which they are fined for crimes they have committed. They want this to happen in order to create fines for these criminals in order for the agencies to make a certain amount of revenue from the fines that the lawbreakers pay as a consequence of their actions. Some laws that law enforcement agencies set up in order to create this type of revenue off of lawbreakers include speeding tickets. The action of speeding can cause more good than harm because of the amount of revenue that speeding tickets can produce, compared to the amount of speeding related automobile accidents that people who
Should minimum wage be increased? In my opinion, it should not be raised. But why not? If the minimum wage increases, the cons will be more effective than the pros. For a start, everyone with the higher paying jobs will want more money. Leading more money to be made and the price of goods will rise. Say right now, the minimum wage is 8.05 and if they rise it to 10$, everyone else that was getting paid 10$ an hour will want an increase as well. And it will keep going on until every job gets a raise. Also it wouldn’t be fair for the people who worked hard and some even go to college and would get paid only 10$ an hour for a start as too someone who got there first job and with no experience
Free-market and Command economy are the two-major economy system. It has sparked years of controversies among individuals over which system is better. However, no agreement has been reached.

Fiscal responsibility is an important part of stability and the government must focus on maintaining the economic stability. As we all know, Government dept can quickly become a burden on the economy and weaken it. Macroeconomic policies change credibility of the government and strengthen political institutions. It is very important that our economy has credibility and stability because it’s vital to us Americans long term investment decisions that allow the US economy to grow.

A free market is a type of market that the government is not involved in. Since the government does not care about what happens, the free market is also called “hands-off” or “let it be economics”. The government is limited to protect the citizens from the danger and that is the major goal for the government. In the free market economy, there are three components of the free market economy: competition, active but limited government, and the self-interest. Competition is one of the main components of the free market economy. Competition means that the companies compete with one another to make more benefits to themselves. According to the concept of the free market economy, the competition means a good thing because it is a basic
I agree that the free market would run into serious problems undercutting its sustainability without regulation; however, the free market is as much a creation of the state that is highly influenced by interest groups. Interest groups play an important role in the formation of a regulation. Interest groups help candidates get elected into government. In return, interest groups can lobby for leniencies in policies that serve their interests. For example, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers has lobbied the government of pipeline regulation, streaming of Fisheries Act, tax credits, and greenhouse gas regulations (as per Macleans.ca, The 10 lobby groups with most contact). If these private interests didn’t exist, would the general public lobby to increase tax credits to corporations? I don’t believe this is the case.
In this way, the Fed manages price inflation in the economy. So bonds affect the U.S. economy by determining interest rates. This affects the amount of liquidity. This determines how easy or difficult it is to buy things on credit, take out loans for cars, houses or education, and expand businesses. In other words, bonds affect everything in the economy. Treasury bonds impact the economy by providing extra spending money for the government and consumers. This is because Treasury bonds are essentially a loan to the government that is usually purchased by domestic consumers. However, for a variety of reasons, foreign governments have been purchasing a larger percentage of Treasury bonds, in effect providing the U.S. government with a loan. This allows the government to spend more, which stimulates the economy. Treasury bonds also help the consumer. When there is a great demand for bonds, it lowers the interest rate.

The fact that free markets are based on a contractual agreement between the buyer and seller with very little government control makes it feasible to consider it to be compatible with individual freedom. (Free Market: 2014) Classical liberals may agree with the objectives of free markets, as they emphasise the importance of individual freedom with limited control of the state. (Hagopian)The counter argument is that when the free market economy is fuelled by profit motives, it sacrifices some ethical and economic issues which can cause severe consequences. (Gerald Hanks: 2014) Modern Liberals argue that although individual freedom is important, coercion can be used as a positive outlook of bettering individuals to the best of their ability.
This research topic is significant to the current property market in Singapore and its sudden increased demand for houses despite the economic downturn, exploring deeper as to whether the government policies were the real influential causes to this boom in property demand. It has relevance to the economic concepts of demand and supply, elasticity, inflation and monopolistic competition. This topic is worthy of investigation because it is a hot media topic in Singapore, and is widely debated in the country because it’s the most expensive household asset.[2]
