What to Focus On

  • Its purpose is to satisfy human wants with scarce resources.
  • Legal and fair economic activity counts as part of the economy.

  • Capitalist economy: private ownership and profit motive.
  • Socialist economy: collective ownership and social welfare.
  • Mixed economy: public and private sectors work together.

  • Private property is allowed.
  • Inheritance helps private property continue across generations.
  • Consumers have sovereignty in choosing goods.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

An economy means only money, banks, or business activity.
