EconomyThere are three ways to

categorize economies:1. Amount of Government

Control2. Type of Economic

Activity3. Level of Development

Page 3: E ducation

1. Amount of Government ControlCapitalism

People own their own businesses and property and must buy services for private use, such as healthcare

Aka Free-Market EconomySocialism

Government owns many of the larger industries

Provides health, education, welfare

Allows citizens some economic choices

Communism Government owns all

businesses and farms and provides its people’s healthcare, education, and welfare

Page 4: E ducation

2. Type of Economic Activitya) Traditional (Primary)

Economiesb) Industrial (Secondary)

Economiesc) High Tech/Service

(Tertiary) Economies

Page 5: E ducation

Traditional (Primary) Economies1) Foraging

Nomadic scavenging/hunting and gathering

Still practiced in remote parts of Brazil and Papua New Guinea

2) Pastoralism Nomadic herding Still somewhat common in

parts of Asia

3) Subsistence Agriculture Simple farming and ranching to

raise enough for personal/family survival

4) Commercial Agriculture Selling or trading surplus crops

5) Extraction Mining or drilling for natural

resources

Page 6: E ducation

Industrial (Secondary) EconomiesNations buy natural

resources from Primary Economies and use them to manufacture goods

Industrial Revolutions cause countries to move from textile manufacturing to heavy industry to higher tech manufacturing

Education usually increases at the same time

Page 7: E ducation

High Tech/Service/“Idea” (Tertiary) Economies

Wealthiest nations come up with ideas for things

They then build factories elsewhere to make those things

Once manufactured, it is shipped back to the nation that designed it

In tertiary, education is directly related to earning potential The smarter you are, the richer

you’ll be “Idea” jobs pay well

Page 8: E ducation

3. Level of DevelopmentDuring Cold War, there were

three categories: First World

United States and wealthiest allies

Second World Soviet Union and wealthiest

allies Third World

Rest of the world Usually poor US and Soviet Union competed

for control of these countries

Page 9: E ducation

Today, we divide the world up as follows:

Very Developed Countries Wealthiest nations in the world Very high levels of health care

and education Ex: US, UK, Japan, Germany

More Developed Countries Most people doing well in these

countries Also have very poor people Eastern European countries

such as Poland and Russia are examples

Page 10: E ducation

Developing Countries Poor countries that are starting

to improve Still have low income and

literacy rates, but numbers are getting better

Ex: Brazil and MexicoUnderdeveloped Countries

Poorest of the poor Few resources, schools,

hospitals Impoverished populations living

on less than $1 per day Ex: Haiti
