Discuss the difference between a pure capitalist economy and a regulated capitalist economy.

What will be an ideal response?


Several differences exist between a pure capitalist economy and a regulated capitalist economy, like that of the United States. In a pure capitalist economy, private individuals and companies own the modes of producing goods and services, and the government enacts no laws aimed at marketplace regulation. In contrast, a regulated capitalist economy includes many national policies enacted to influence the economy and mandate certain business practices.
