Just Imagine…
You are in charge of all the money coming into your home every month
What factors would you have to consider in deciding how to spend that money?
Everybody in you house will have different ideas on what's important and what it should be spent on That’s economics
![Page 4: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A comparison
We will looking at the economic systems of Canada and its largest trading partner, the United States
What values shape these systems, how they are different, and how they are the same
![Page 5: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A brief lesson in economics…
Cartoon, pg 199 Why didn’t the manufacturer make more
games? Why did the truckers go on strike? Why did the store decide to sell the game
for less? Why would anyone buy it for $99.99?
![Page 6: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What Values shape the mixed and market economies of
Canada and the United States?
The demand for super cyborg city was so great it created a scarcity of the product To many people wanted the product, and not enough
copies were available Some things people need are unlimited- ex air Most things that people need or want are
limited. This is because resources are limited In economics resources include, money,
labour, and materials
![Page 7: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What Creates Scarcity?
Land Materials found in the natural environment
needed to produce goods and services, such as renewable and non-renewable resources What impacts might this decision about using
the land have on the land?
![Page 8: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Labour Labour consists of the physical and mental
effort needed to produce goods and services Construction workers building a house- if there
aren’t enough workers , fewer houses get built
How do choices concerning jobs effect the work force?
![Page 9: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Capital Consists of money that people own or borrow, used
to purchase equipment, tools, and other resources needed to produce goods and services
Ex- setting up a plane production plant requires money
What if the capital that built this airplane were invested in something else? How might this impact airports and air services?

Jungle or Zoo?
Get into 4 teams Each team will choose whether they
would prefer to live in a jungle or a zoo. Make sure you write your decision at the top of the page.
Answer the questions from that perspective.
![Page 11: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Who would rather live in a jungle? Who would choose the zoo? Explain your answers.
What are the most important reasons for your personal choices? What values or beliefs emerge in these answers?
Can you think of countries that could be compared to jungles or zoos?
What does the country you have chosen have in common with the jungle or zoo?
Speculate on: – the living conditions – the type of government – the economic activities – the individual happiness and collective well-
being. What are the drawbacks to living in the environment
you initially chose?

Economic Systems
An economic system is a way to solve the basic problem of scarcity.
Economic systems can be placed on a spectrum; their spot on that spectrum depends on the underlying values of that society
![Page 13: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Spectrum of Economic Systems
More government control Less government control
![Page 14: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Planned Economy
At this end of the spectrum, the government makes all the decisions about how to solve scarcity.
The Government owns and manages all the resources needed to produce things Resources are publicly owned Government makes all decisions about
resources Individual consumers have little influence on
decision making Ex. Former USSR
![Page 15: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Market Economy
On this end of the spectrum, the choices of individuals solve scarcity
Private businesses manage and sell their own resources
Businesses succeed if they sell products consumers want, otherwise they fail
The government does not get involved Ex. The United States
![Page 16: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mixed Economy
Combines private ownership and government control
Individuals and government make decisions about what to produce
The level of government involvement depends on what political party is in power Liberal Party-More involvement Conservative Party-Less involvement
Ex- Canada, Sweden
![Page 17: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How did they end up this way?
The Canadian and American economic systems are very similar, but they developed from different starting points Their starting points involved different
answers to the fundamental question “what’s the best way to achieve the public good?”
![Page 18: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Public Good and Cooperation The belief that individuals must consider each
other and set aside their individual differences to achieve what’s best for society What style of economic system do you think this
idea fits? The Public Good and individualism
the belief that what's best for each person individually adds up to what best for society What style of economic system do you think this
idea fits?

History of the Different Systems
Canadian Economy pg 206-207 How might the history of Canada shape
the value and attitudes in Canada? The U.S. Economy pg 208 How might the history of the U.S. shape
the values and attitudes in the U.S.? Video- VHS Capitalism vs. communism Public Good Worksheets
![Page 20: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Supply and Demand
Supply and demand control the market system through a cause-and-effect relationship related to price.
Supply and demand effect quality of life because they affect the prices of products we buy, the availability of products, and jobs connected to creating products. Supply and Demand Activity
![Page 21: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Demand
Demand is the quantity of a good that consumers will buy. The demand for the good is related to the price of that good.
Generally, the higher the price of a good, the less people will want to buy and therefore, the lower the demand. When something is expensive, people will purchase less of it or a substitute.
The opposite is also true: the lower the price of a good, the more people will want to buy and the higher the demand will be. When something is cheap, people will want to buy more of it.
![Page 22: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Supply
Supply is the quantity of a good that producers are willing to make and offer for sale in the market. The supply of a good is related to the price of that good.
Generally, the higher the price of the good, the more producers will want to make and the greater the supply.
The opposite is also true: the lower the price of a good, the less producers will want to make and the lower the supply will be.
![Page 23: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Competition
Competition is about striving to get consumers to buy their products
Producers attract consumers in a variety of ways-price, product quality, and advertising
Many factors can affect competition, including the value of consumers and decisions by the government to get involved in decisions about supply and demand Ex: coke vs. Pepsi, ford vs. GMC, Nike, vs.
Adidas 2 Donut shops case study- pg 212

Prices
Prices in a free market system are determined by the interaction of supply and demand.
![Page 25: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The price of a good will naturally move to a level where the quantity demanded is EQUAL to the quantity supplied. At this point, the market is said to be at EQUILIBRIUM.
![Page 26: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
In a free market system, the equilibrium price and quantity of most goods are constantly changing as the market adjusts automatically to changes in the level of supply and demand.
Lemonade

Prices
Firms are encouraged to increase production of those goods that are in high demand and to reduce production of less popular goods
Goods are made available to consumers at the lowest possible price Ford Motor company grew because of their
ability to supply cars to the consumers for a lower price due to the invention of the assembly line
![Page 28: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Why do Governments get Involved in the Market Economy?
Market economies rely on the decisions of individuals consumers and producers
Sometimes the government may get involved to inform, protect or ensure good and fair practices Ex. The B.C. government started its own auto
insurance program because it believed private insurance companies were to expensive
Can you think of any other reasons why the government may get involved?
![Page 29: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Business Cycle
The free market economy does not grow at a constant rate. Instead, it goes through a continuing series of “boom” and “bust” periods called the business cycle.
![Page 30: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Boom Periods
period of prosperity and economic growth
high level of employment wages and profits rise, therefore
spending increases GDP (gross domestic product) is high Problem: INFLATION
![Page 31: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Bust Periods
Economic decline and crisis production decreases, therefore
unemployment rises and wages fall consumers restrict spending, therefore
prices and profits drop RECESSION – mild and short lived
downturn DEPRESSION – longer and severe period
of decline
![Page 32: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Business Cycle
![Page 33: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Government Intervention
Governments intervene in the economy by changing their level of spending and the supply of money to try to even out the boom and bust cycles
![Page 34: Chapter 6 To what Extent do Different Economic Systems Affect Quality of life?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813aff550346895da39a62/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Look at the examples on pg 214 and 215 To what extent do you agree or disagree
with the involvement of the government in each example?

Supply, Demand, and Price
Break into 3 groups 1) Supply 2) Demand 3) Price
I will read some “what if “ Statements. You as a group must decide what will happen Will the supply/demand/price go up? Will the supply/demand/price go down?
