![Page 6: Ch. 2: Economic Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/5681305c550346895d96216a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
QUESTION 1 & 2
What goods/services should be produced? Society must decide what to produce in order to
satisfy wants/needs of its people Because of scarcity (limited resources), each
decision comes at an opportunity cost How should goods/services be produced?
As a society decides, it considers…… How to best use its 3 factors of production
Land Labor Capital : human/physical
Look at Figure 2.1 on pg. 24 (read/answer TPS) What does each choice involve?
Trade-offs
![Page 7: Ch. 2: Economic Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/5681305c550346895d96216a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

society distributes income Through factor payments,
including profits, society can determine who will be consumers of goods/services How much will owners make,
teachers, bankers, etc. Answer can tell a great deal

![Page 9: Ch. 2: Economic Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/5681305c550346895d96216a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY
Societies answer 3 ?s based on importance they attach to their economic goals
Scarce resources make societies try to maximize what they can produce using their resources If they can accurately
assess what to produce they can increase their efficiency
![Page 10: Ch. 2: Economic Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/5681305c550346895d96216a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ECONOMIC FREEDOM AND SECURITY
Some societies limit the economic freedoms of its people U.S., we face some limitations, but in general, we
have a lot of freedom Economic systems also strive to achieve a
degree of economic security Basically, systems are there to reassure people
that goods/services will be available and they will get paid for work as well
![Page 11: Ch. 2: Economic Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/5681305c550346895d96216a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ECONOMIC EQUITY AND GROWTH
Another goal that is defined differently in different societies. Basically how they will divide their “pie”
Checkpoint: “What are 2 examples of economic goals?”
Growth: Economies need to grow Need to provide jobs for new people in workforce Strive to improve standards of living Innovation plays a large role in economic growth
and success
![Page 12: Ch. 2: Economic Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/5681305c550346895d96216a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ECONOMIC GOALS IN CONFLICT
There are some additional economic goals for certain societies Environmental protections Full employment Protecting national industries
Societies end up having to prioritize their economic goals (arrange them in order of importance) Each choice comes with some kind of trade-off
![Page 13: Ch. 2: Economic Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/5681305c550346895d96216a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
TRADITIONAL ECONOMIES
Oldest and simplest economic system Rely on habit, custom, or ritual Revolve around family Little room for innovation/change
Found in communities that… Stay small and close Work to support entire community over selves
Success is judged by how they meet their own needs Often lack modern conveniences Lower standards of living

WHY DO MARKETS EXIST?
Markets exist to eliminate the need for any one person to be self-sufficient Examples: NYSE, Farmers markets, Scheel’s, Wal-Mart They allow us to exchange the things we have for
things we want Money for goods/services in most cases
Lead to specialization Rather than self-sufficiency, we specialize in a few
products/services Leads to efficient use of 3 factors of production Allows businesses to focus on limited number of
related products/services Markets are needs as an arena to buy/sell
products

SELF REGULATION
Wealth of Nations Adam Smith observed countless transactions in
marketplace that showed…. Buyers/Sellers only consider their self-interests
Smith’s take Positive incentives of lower prices causes more buying
B/C opportunity cost of the purchase is lowered
Regulations Self-interest is the motivating force in the free-
market Consumers pursue their self-interest by looking for
lower/lowest prices
![Page 23: Ch. 2: Economic Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/5681305c550346895d96216a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SELF-REGULATION
Competition Firms seek to make higher profits by increasing
sales Competition among firms makes increasing sales
not always possible
Self-interest and competition work together to regulate the marketplace
Smith called this the “Invisible Hand”
