What to Focus On

  • An economy is the institutional framework for economic activity.
  • Two main classifications are used: development-based and system-based.
  • The main modern systems are capitalism, socialism, and mixed economy.
  • Developed countries have high real per capita income.
  • Developing countries have low real per capita income but development potential.
  • Per capita income is useful but not complete as a measure of development.
  • Developing economies often depend heavily on agriculture.
  • They usually face poverty, unemployment, and poor infrastructure.
  • Their economies are changing and improving over time.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A high-income country and a developed country are exactly the same thing in every classification.

Middle-income countries are developed countries.

Per capita income is a perfectly satisfactory measure of development.
