Concept Economic Systems and How Choices are Made
Show Answer Hide Answer
  • The market economy gives people the most freedom, because individuals and private companies own the resources, and the government does not control prices or production.
  • The market economy is also best suited for innovation, because many producers offer similar products and competition pushes them to improve.
  • In a planned economy there is little motivation to improve quality or to innovate, because competition is restricted.
