Scarcity is a perpetual problem facing society due tolimited resources and

unlimited wants and needs satisfied with these resources. Scarcity means that

society does not have enough of everything resources for everyone wants and

needs (anualweb, n.d).

Two Components

Consider the two sides of the scarcity problem:

1. Unlimited Wants are this is a basic characteristic of humanity which

means that people are never totally satisfied with the quantity and variety of

goods and services. It means that people never get enough, that there is always

something else that they would want or need.

2. Limited Resources: This is a basic condition of nature which means that

the quantities of available resources used for production are limited. It means

that the economy has only so many resources that can be used AT ANY GIVEN

TIME. Time to produce other goods and services.

2.2. THERE ARE 5 CHARATERISTIC OF FEATURES OF MIXED ECONOMY

1) Public sector: all decision regarding what, how and for whom to

produce is taken by the state. Public utilities such as road construction, power

supply, water supply are in the side of public sector. These public utilities are

operating for societal welfare maximization not for profit motives.

distribution of goods and services are carried out by private enterprise. Profit

motive is the guiding principle in this sector.

run enterprise. It is organized on the basis of a joint stock company where

majority of shares are held by the state.

4) Freedom and control: in mixed economy there is every freedom to own

private property, earn profit, to consume, produce, distribute and to have any

occupation of choice without limitations until unless such possessions have an

adverse effect on public welfare so that state intervenes in order to control and

targets laid down in the plan.

Private ownership of land and capital is an important element of the free

enterprise system and the essential features of a mixed economy. Under an

allows some government ownership of industry. Private ownership rates and free

enterprise differ across different economic mix. U.S. emphasizes free enterprise

while other countries nationalize certain industries, such as utilities,

transportation and energy. Moreover, business personal property in a mixed

economy may be required to comply with various government regulations. Even

communist China's economy includes a number of features that suggest that the

market can be considered as a mixed economy; albeit one that retains many of

the features of the socialist planned economy. Watch the Website Economic eyes

that the Chinese government reforms have resulted private business in the

manufacturing and services sectors (ehowco, n.d).

price signals with the ultimate goal to maximize the benefits of how much.

However, mixed economic system, with the goods, they are different from the

free market economic system with some scarce to produce services that thinks

their country into the public sector and the government, people, and need to be

unemployment, when the national government, that to build a factory to create

jobs for people to use the resources you can. Furthermore, it is possible to
