Economic Continuum • A group of financial experts set up a
rating system to help us understand how much command and market each country has in it.
• This Index of Economic Freedom gives each country a number that can be plotted on a economic continuum.
The United States has an Economic Freedom number of 77.6. Since this number is closer to the market side of the continuum, we label the U.S. as a Mixed-Market Economy.
• Now, lets compare the economies of Brazil, Mexico, Canada, and Cuba!

Scenario 1-Since its 1988 constitution, Brazil has divided its country into twenty-six states and a central government district. The states are then broken into over 5,500 municipalities, which are like counties. All these political units have a local government that has its own laws and taxes. Brazilians vote for representatives at each level. The central government will not allow any states or municipalities to be independent or break away from the country’s national government.
![Page 46: Econ of cuba, mex, brazil](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061113/54582d4fb1af9fcf338b5358/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Scenario 2-For only three years beginning in 1836, the
countries of Bolivia, North Peru, and South Peru attempted a government system in which the three countries created a loose union that shared power as well as ruled themselves. Neighboring countries, including Argentina and Chile, were alarmed about this new government and a war followed that ended this shared government system between Bolivia and Peru.

Scenario 3-Established in 1993, the European Union (EU) is an economic and political union of twenty-seven independent countries, or member states, which has a foundation from the European Economic Community. The EU has allowed a single free trade market where all member states are guaranteed freedom of movement of people, goods, services, and capital. Most EU countries have adopted a common currency, called the euro. While it is governed by the EU Commission and Parliament over the union’s common interests, each country still controls its independently-run government.

Scenario 4-Costa Rica is a peaceful, democratic republic where power is only given by the central government, based in San Jose, the capital city. The seven provinces have leaders, but the laws and taxes of the central government have full control over the regional division.
![Page 49: Econ of cuba, mex, brazil](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061113/54582d4fb1af9fcf338b5358/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Scenario 5- Since its 1917 constitution, Mexico has had a central government based in its capital, Mexico City, and thirty-one states that also have their own state governments. Citizens vote for their representatives on three government levels: the central, state, and municipal governments.
![Page 50: Econ of cuba, mex, brazil](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061113/54582d4fb1af9fcf338b5358/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Scenario 6-Fidel Castro took power as dictator over Cuba and made it communist in 1959 after leading the Cuban Revolution. Under this government system, only one political party was in control and only one person, Castro, made all decisions for the citizens. The laws he established from Havana, the capital, were to be followed by the entire country.
