We often consider ourselves fortunate to be living in the United States. What are the economic reasons why this is so? Contrast planned and mixed economic systems. What are the advantages and disadvantages of capitalism?

What will be an ideal response?


Responses should identify not only the fact that the market determines what is produced, who benefits from it, and who receives the goods and services, but also on factors such as the importance of competition, and the right to private property. Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of capitalism is the existence of the poor and homeless.
