Economics

Generally, every economic system can be classified as a traditional, command, or market economy.

TRADITIONAL: The 3 questions (what, how and who) are decided on the basis of customs, social patterns, religion or other ideas handed down through time.

MARKET: Here the major decisions regarding the 3 questions are made by individual consumers, businesses and, to a very minor extent, government. Buyers and sellers make their decision known in the market place.

PUBLIC (COMMAND): Here the major decisions to the economic questions are made by the government on behalf of the citizens it serves. The power of the government in such decisions varies.

1. Identify if it involves a What, How, or Who question.

2. 2. Identify if the decision reflects what you would find in a Traditional, Public (command), or Market economic system.

A. The Catholic Church opposes the development of a female condom.

B. A law makes it illegal for a landlord to consider race as a factor in determining who he/she may rent his/her apartment to. Hint

C. A local ordinance outlaws the sale of assault weapons.

D. Gun production is up in the U.S. in response to increased demand.

E. At Momas Pizza, she makes her pies the old fashioned way.

F. Wealthy Americans often send their children to private schools.

G. Government requires more testing of silicone breast implants before they can be put on the market.

H. G.I. Joe advertisements appear on shows that have primarily boy viewers.

I. Women in the U.S. earn 70 cents for every dollar a man makes.

J. The government controls the development of nuclear power plants.

K. An automobile manufacturer lays-off workers and replaces them with robots that lower production costs.

L. Since sarah, like 40 million other Americans, is poor, she cannot afford an abortion.

M. A manufacturer decides to dump his/her company’s waste into the Hudson River in an effort to keep production costs low.

Various type of economic system over the world are as follows:

Market Economy:

The Market Economy system is being accepted by most of the countries over the world following the success of western countries such as USA, Canada and Others. In a market economy system both buyers and sellers play a significant role and prices are determined through demand and supply interaction.

Political Economy:

In a world environment where acceptance of neo-liberalism is rising very fast, the relevance of political economy is well meant for bringing world powers together. Find detailed on global political economy dealing with global trade, finance, and other monetary and fiscal policies.

Global Economy:

The Global Economy has made a significant shift in its agriculture related economic activities to services related activities. It has also experienced a faster rate of growth in its Gross Domestic Product. Find detailed on the trend of global economy, global exports, global economic indicators and globalization economy.

Mixed Economy

Mixed Economy is such a type of economic system, where both capitalist economic norms as well as socialist economic norms exist. Both Private economic freedom and centralized planning co-exist.

Capitalist Economy:

A Capitalist Economy can be defined as a type of economic activity, where the means of production are mainly owned by the private owners. A higher degree of consumer's freedom exists in such types of markets.

Socialist Economy:

Socialist Economy is a type of economic system where the means of production and distribution are made by the public authority or the Government. Such type of economy can be defined as a centrally planned economy.

economics terms

An indifference curve in microeconomic theory is a graph showing different bundles of goods, each measured as to quantity, between which a consumer is indifferent. That is, at each point on the curve, the consumer has no preference for one bundle over another. In other words, they are all equally preferred.

Unit 1: Applying Theories of Economic Choice to Maximize
the Welfare of a Nation and its Citizens

Time: 20 hours

Unit Description

What type of economic system best allocates resources to maximize national wealth? How can a nation’s resources be allocated individually and collectively to best meet the needs and desires of its citizens? Students explore responses to these two central questions by applying fundamental economic concepts to the study of an economics issue dealing with welfare economics.

Through the use of problem-set type questions, students demonstrate an understanding of key economic concepts such as indifference curves, production possibility frontiers, and budget lines. The application of these concepts in the context of welfare economics allows students to use marginal analysis to explain how consumers, producers, and governments make important economic choices to satisfy the interests of individual stakeholders and the interests of a nation as a whole.

Using application questions, students also evaluate how the quality and quantity of consumer information, among other factors, can impact on a consumer’s optimal choice by having them apply the theories of supply and demand to determine the overall effect on equilibrium achieved in a market.

Many of these concepts are reinforced through a seminar on Adam Smith, modelled by the teacher and summarizing Smith’s ideas and theories in the context of welfare economics.
This seminar also serves as a lead into the study of the component parts of economic theories in which students compare and contrast models of economic theory with those of the pure sciences. Through this comparison, students identify the concepts of “normative” and “positive” economics and then apply them to an evaluation of whether a current trend like globalization effectively satisfies the often conflicting goals of freedom and equity.

This provides yet another opportunity for students to practise the application of welfare economics theories. To prepare students for the unit’s culminating activity, they are introduced to the concept of an economic spectrum, and in pairs, present a current or historical case study representative of one of the positions on this spectrum.

This presentation focuses on defending the case study they chose as an accurate representation of one of the positions on the spectrum. As well, consistent with the structure of the Adam Smith seminar, the first pair of students presents a seminar on Karl Marx. This also serves to support the students in the completion of the unit culminating activity.

AIM: How did England give rise to the Industrial Revolution during the 1700’s?

1: We provide information on the conditions for development existing in Britain and ask students to answer the question - Why did the Industrial Revolution begin in Britain?

2: We provide information on the Agricultural Revolution - visual, and in the form of charts and readings - which would help students to answer the question, What is the relationship between the Agricultural and the Industrial Revolutions?

3: We provide information on some of the major new inventions and inventors of the Industrial Revolution in the textile, transportation, and communication industries, covering the period 1725 -1900.

Directions :: Select three inventors that you think had the most significant effect on their industry and society. For each inventor, write a recommendation for the Inventor’s Hall of Fame, in which you include the following:

1. Describe each nominee’s invention.

2. Describe the effect that the invention had on the industry at the time.

3. Describe how the invention had a long term effect that may possibly even have affected your life.

4. Use the information you have found on the computer to answer the following questions:

1. How did the first Industrial Revolution profoundly alter Britain’s society and economy? (Offer at least four examples)

2. Explain how the most important changes occurred in the organization of work.

Homework: Write a journal entry discussing your excitement over the new profession that you are going to choose now that the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions are here. Discuss how you hope your life will change as a result of these revolutions.
