What to Focus On

  • An economy is a system for getting a living.
  • 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.

Illegal activities like robbery or smuggling are part of gainful economic activity because they bring income.

Consumer sovereignty belongs to socialism because socialism focuses on welfare.
