1. Overview
An economic system is the way that a society produces, distributes, and uses goods and services.

A) Traditional Economy
1) based on barter (trade without using money) and subsistence agriculture (farming in which the crops are used only to feed the farmer and his family).

2) closely linked to the natural environment

3) Economic decisions are often influenced by tradition and religious beliefs.

4) People in a traditional society are likely to have the same occupation as their parents.

5) Slash-and-burn techniques are typically practiced by subsistence farmers who plant an area until the soil loses its fertility

6) Manorialism is a kind of traditional economy

B) Market Economy
1) Individuals own businesses and make economic decisions.

2) Individuals determine the price of goods based on supply and demand.

3) “capitalism” (Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nation) , “laissez-faire”
(Malthus), free enterprise

4) mercantilism
• The term “mercantilism” is defined as an economic system in which colonies exist for the benefit of the colonial power. (Colonial powers considered their colonies to be possessions to benefit the imperial power.) European countries (e.g. Portugal) sought trade benefits from their colonial possessions.

• The might of a country consists of GAINING SURPLUSES OF GOLD AND SILVER.

• A nation’s strength is found in economic independence and the maintenance of a FAVORABLE BALANCE OF TRADE. (One goal of mercantilism was the creation of a favorable balance of trade. Controlling trade was a key to increasing power.)

• Countries need to gain COLONIES both as SOURCES FOR RAW MATERIALS and as MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURED GOODS. (According to the economic theory of mercantilism, the purpose of colonies is to ship raw materials to the colonial power and buy finished goods from the colonial power.)

• Developed in the 17th century, mercantilism supported the Age of Exploration, European colonialism, the Atlantic trade routes, and during the Industrial Revolution

C) Command Economy
1) The government own businesses and make economic decisions.
2) The government determines the price of goods.
3) Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
- argued laissez-faire allowed greedy factory owners to exploit poor
factory workers.
- wrote Communist Manifesto
- history has been about class struggles
- wealthy and greedy factory owners (Bourgeoisie) were taking
advantage of the poor factory workers (Proletariat) to earn money.
- Proletariat should rise up, overthrow the bourgeoisie in a violent
revolution, and eliminate laissez faire capitalism.
- Proletariat then create a new kind of society where work and wealth
was shared equally to everyone (and where social classes no longer
existed.

2. Economic Issues After WWII
I. Economic Cooperation
A) After WWII, various regions of the world started to create organizations that were designed to increase trade and promote economic prosperity.
1) European Union (E.U.)- Now includes 27 countries in Europe. They have decreased tariffs (taxes) and now use a single form of currency the Euro.

2) North American Free Trade Agreement (N.A.F.T.A.)- includes the US, Canada, and Mexico. By decreasing tariffs, this organization has increased trade between the three main countries of North America.

3) These two organizations are examples of economic cooperation and interdependence (countries working together and relying on each other).
