Economic Systems Fundamentals
Types of Economic Systems
• Market economies– consumers decide what is produced by the
purchases they make– businesses make production decisions– consumers earning more money purchase
more goods and services– consumers are motivated to work in order to
earn more money
3
Types of Economic Systems
• Command economies– one person or group of people make
production decisions– one person or group of people owns all
businesses and runs all businesses– one person or group of people decides who
will receive goods and services produced
4
Types of Economic Systems
• Mixed economies– have a mixture of the market and command
economic systems– most present-day global economies are
varying mixtures due to lessons learned over history the Great Depression of the 1930s showed
us the need for some government regulation in a free market
the collapse of the Soviet Union showed us the need for some personal freedoms in a command system
5
Economic Systems• On an economic continuum, with command
economic systems far left and market economic systems far right, most countries fall somewhere in between
6
Where on this continuum would you place the United States? Canada? Russia?
China? North Korea?
Communism Socialism Capitalism
Command Market
Capitalism
• Is an economic system in which:– businesses are privately owned – product development is proportionate to the
accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market
– government is usually democratic and maintains fewer social services than in a socialist country
• Is the economic system in countries including:– United States– Japan
7
Socialism
• Is an economic system in which:– there is increased government involvement– the goal is to keep prices low and provide
jobs for everyone through government-owned businesses
• Is somewhat vague in its definition because of its position on the continuum
• Often proves to be a temporary phase countries go through
8
Socialism
• Includes additional social services in order to secure a certain standard of living such as:– providing free or low-cost medical care– providing free education from elementary to
college– providing pensions and free care for the
elderly– forcing companies and individuals to pay much
higher taxes 9
Communism
• Is an economic system in which:– the government runs and controls most aspects of
daily life– there is little or no economic freedom– theoretically every working-age citizen is assigned a
job or continues getting paid, even if he/she stops going
– the government decides the type of schooling each citizen receives
• Is the economic system in countries including:– China– North Korea
10
The Free Enterprise System
• Is an economic system which:– uses the capitalist approach– encourages people to start and run
businesses without government involvement– encourages competition
a struggle between companies an essential component of a free enterprise
system
11
Fun Fact: There were over 27 million business organizations in the U.S. in 2008.
Types of Competition
• Price competition– focuses on the sale price of a product– assumes other factors are equal and
customers will choose by price• Non-price competition
– focuses on factors other than price including: product quality reputation customer service business location
12
$ $ $
Degrees of Competition
• Monopolies– refer to one company controlling a
product market– have no competition– are harmful to free enterprise – are regulated by the U.S. government
• Oligopolies– are a few companies controlling a product
market– can affect price and competition
13
What are some of the product markets with a monopoly or an oligopoly?
Risk• Includes the possibility of loss or failure in
relation to the possibility of increased profit in a free enterprise system
• Is a factor affecting business– new product development
close to 90 percent of new products fail
– competition once a product is on the market, other companies
scramble for a piece of the “market pie”
• Increases when profits increase
14
Profit• Motivates entrepreneurs to take risks
involved in owning their own business• Is the income of a business after all costs
and expenses have been deducted– for example:
five percent of sales go to profits 95 percent of sales go to pay costs, expenses,
taxes, etc.
• Increases with lower costs and higher sales volume
15
Profitable Firms
– employees increased job market increased salaries and
benefits an improved economy
– consumers increased competition
creates lower profits, higher quality and better services for consumers
16
• Positively affect and benefit:– the government
increased salaries increased business
profits increased money
from taxes– investors
higher dividend returns
Unprofitable Firms• Negatively affect the economy with:
– costs to employees higher unemployment salary cuts
– costs to investors loss on investment when stock price
dips too low selling stocks at a loss, creating an unstable stock
market
– costs to the government decreasing taxes decreasing funds available to social services
17
Supply & Demand
• Supply– is the amount of a product available to the market;
stock– according to the law of supply, as product price
increases, the product quantity increases; causing a positive slope
• Demand– is the consumer’s willingness to buy a product– according to the law of demand, as product price
increases, the demand for the product decreases; causing a negative slope
18
Supply & Demand Schedules
19
Supply Schedule for Leather Jackets
Price per Jacket$300$250$215$175$140$115$95
Number Supplied7,4004,7804,3303,4002,8602,3001,890
As price increases,
supply increases

Demand Schedule for Leather Jackets
Price per Jacket$300$250$215$175$140$115$95
Number Demanded1,6502,1003,8804,9005,7256,7807,600
As price increases,
demand decreases
Supply & Demand Curves
21
surplusshortage
Supply & Demand• Interactions in the marketplace result in one of
the following:– surplus – when a product is produced in larger
quantities than it is demanded– shortage – when a product is demanded in larger
quantities than it is produced– equilibrium – when the quantity of a product supplied
matches the quantity demanded can be found at the point where the demand curve
meets the supply curve at this point, the producer and the consumer are
satisfied with the price of the product and the amount produced 22
Government’s Role in Free Enterprise
• Is providing four functions including:– basic social services– business support– business, individual and resource protection– competition
23
Basic Social Services
• Provided by the government include:– protection provided by the military, police and
fire departments– public education– medical care for the poor and the elderly– transportation infrastructure
24
Fun Fact: Public elementary and secondary schools across the nation spent about $525 billion for the
2011-12 school year – more than $10,500 per student!
Business Support
• Provided by the government includes:– relief in the event of disasters (i.e., droughts
or hurricanes)– trade alliances with other countries
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) opened trade in North America by lifting tariffs and gradually reducing trade barriers within Canada, the United States and Mexico
25
NAFTA affected the trucking industry, as well as the agriculture industry. Do you think these affects were positive? Could the affects have been negative?
Protection
• For businesses, individuals and resources are provided by the government through departmental regulation such as:– Food and Drug Administration (FDA)– Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA)– Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC)– Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
26
Competition
• Is provided by the government through its own business operations such as:– U.S. Postal Service– AMTRAK– Tennessee Valley Authority
27
Fun Fact: In 2011, the U.S. Postal Service had over 550,000 career employees and delivered
over 160 billion pieces of mail.
Consumer Role in Free Enterprise
• Two main functions :– attaching popularity to products
consumers ultimately decide what products (and businesses) survive by making purchases
– determine the supply and demand for each product by buying more or less of a product, consumers
establish a supply and demand schedule for the given product
28
Economic Success
• Can be measured in several ways including:– employee productivity– gross domestic product (GDP)– rate of inflation– consumer price index– producer price index– unemployment rate
29
Employee Productivity
• Measures the output per hour of individual employees for a defined time period
• Can be increased by:– furnishing new equipment or facilities to
support better efficiency– arranging for more training or financial
incentives– decreasing employee ratio and giving more
responsibilities to remaining employees
30
Gross Domestic Product
• Is also known as GDP• Is the total output of goods and services
produced in a country

Rate of Inflation• Is the rate of rising prices in a country• Is usually attributed to the volume of money
and credit relative to available goods and services
• Signifies a stable economy when low, but an unstable economy when high
• Is managed by the government by:– raising interest rates to keep people from
borrowing money higher interest rates slow economic growth, thus
slow down the rise of inflation
32
Consumer Price Index (CPI)
• Is used to measure inflation– measures price changes of about 400 goods and
services used by the average household including: food and beverages housing apparel transportation medical care recreation education and communication
• Is sometimes called a cost-of-living index33

Producer Price Index (PPI)
• Is also used to measure inflation– measures the selling prices received by
domestic producers • Is considered the trendsetter of the two
since consumer prices generally follow producer prices
35
Fun Fact: The Producer Price Index was called the Wholesale Price Index from the program’s inception
in 1902 until 1978, when the name was changed.
Unemployment Rate
• Is the amount of people without jobs• Is tracked by all countries• Means economic decline when high• Means economic expansion when low
– with more people working, there are more people spending money and paying taxes
