A Mixed Economy: The Mix
|
|
|
A pure market economy and a pure command economy are two theoretical extremes in the allocation of resources. - Real world economies form a continuum bounded by these two extremes. They are mixed economies:
- A mixed economy is one that relies on both markets and government to allocate resources.
- Market-oriented economies, also called capitalism, are mixed economies that lean heavily to the market end.
- Socialism and communism are mixed economies that lean more (a lot more) toward government control.
The mixed U.S. economy leans heavily to the market end of the market-government continuum.
Three indicators of government involvement:- Taxes: Government controls about 1/3 of the revenue generated in the economy each year.
- Spending: Government buys 20% of the goods produced each year.
- Regulations: Government influences many allocation decisions through laws, rules, and other restrictions.
