ECONOMICMODELS(10hoursonline)

Description

Thebaseoftheeconomicsystemisinhowtheindividualandsocietydecidestouseitslimitedresourcesinordertoachievetheirneedsandrequirements.Itdiffers from one country to another, mainly due to: the ownership of thefactorsofproductionandthemethodusedtoguideeconomicactivity.In every organized community they are mixed markets and activity ofgovernments. The degree ofmarket competition varies from those inwhichonlyoperates a company, exercising amonopoly toperfect competition in amarket in which they operate hundreds of retailers. The same happens forpublic intervention, ranging from minimal intervention to regulate taxes,credit, contracts and subsidies, to control wages and prices of the plannedeconomy system prevailing in communist countries.
