Traditional (Custom-Based) Economy Goods are produced the way they
have always been produced. Change and growth occur slowly in
countries where economies follow customs, and people are poor in material goods

Command Economy Resources are owned and controlled by
the government Officials of the government (central
committee) decide what and how goods will be produced and how they will be shared.

by individuals through buying and selling activities in the marketplace.
Consumers and businesses make economic decisions based on their own interest.

Our Economic System
Capitalism – economic resources are usually privately owned by individuals rather than by the government
This freedom of the individual to choose what to produce provides the rationale for another name:
free enterprise or private enterprise system
![Page 9: Intro To Business; Lesson 1 3](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/546ff188b4af9fb90a8b45bb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Capitalism, free enterprise, private enterprise refer to a system in which most economic resources are privately owned and decisions about production and distribution are largely made by voluntary exchange in the marketplace

Emerging Market Economies
Command economies are not designed to meet the wants and needs of individuals. In most controlled economies, workers with different skills and responsibilities receive similar wages – little incentive for people to work hard.
