What to Focus On

  • Economy means the system of production, consumption, distribution, investment, and exchange.
  • Economic activities are divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors.
  • Scarcity of resources is a basic feature of every economy.

  • The three ownership-based types are capitalism, socialism, and mixed economy.
  • Ownership of productive resources is the main basis of this classification.
  • Economic decisions are linked to ownership and control.

  • Capitalism is also known as free market economy and laissez-faire economy.
  • Private ownership and profit motive are the core features of capitalism.
  • Price mechanism and competition guide economic decisions in capitalism.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Capitalistic economy and free market economy are different systems.

Under capitalism, private property is absolute and the government has no limits at all.

Capitalism has no connection with price mechanism because decisions are made only by business owners.
