Credit is used when people buy

something now and pay for it later.
Two forms of credit are shown below.

When you buy something on

credit, you usually have to pay the
amount you borrowed plus an
additional amount in interest.

Interest is a fee paid for the

use of someone elses
money.

With a seat partner, share an

experience in your life when
you know credit was used to
purchase something.
If you cannot think of anything,
come up with something that
you think might need to be
purchased using credit.

What else can you do with

money other than spend it?

SAVE IT!

How can you save money?

One way money can be saved

is by putting it in a bank where it
can earn interest.

Money saved can also be

Economic
Systems

Essential Question:
How do economic systems answer
the questions of what, how, and for
whom to produce?

Standards:
SS6E1a, SS6E5a, SS6E8a.
Compare how traditional, command, and
market economies answer the economic
questions of (1) what to produce, (2) how to
produce, and (3) for whom to produce
SS6E1b, SS6E5b, SS6E8b.
Explain how most countries have a mixed
economy located on a continuum between
pure market and pure command.

Economic Systems
A Country must decide how to
distribute its resources to meet
the needs of its people.
How a country makes these
decisions determines its type of
economic system.

An Economic System is the

way a society organizes the
production, distribution,
and consumption of goods
and services.

Vocabulary
Break
In small groups, sort the pictures
provided as examples of production,
distribution, or consumption

Economic Systems
There are 3 basic types of
economic systems that have to
answer three basic questions:
(1) What to produce?
(2) How to produce?
(3) For Whom to produce?

Economic Systems
WHAT TO PRODUCE? (What kinds of goods and services
should be produced?)
HOW TO PRODUCE? (What productive resources are
used to produce goods and services?)
FOR WHOM TO PRODUCE? (Who gets to have the goods
and services?
The way a society answers these questions determines
its economic system.

Types of Economic Systems:

1. Traditional Economy
2. Command Economy
3. Market Economy

services produced for?
Whoever the government decides to give them
to

Command Economy
Strengths: people do not have to
worry about employment, housing,
education, and healthcare
Weaknesses: consumers own
nothing, no choices/freedom,
limited innovation by individuals

represents a
Command Economy.

Market Economy
In a market economy, buyers and sellers answer
the three economic questions
All resources are privately owned
Who decides what to produce?
Whatever the market demands that will produce
a profit
Who decides how to produce goods and services?
Private producers (businesses)
For Whom are the goods and services produced
for?
Consumers who demand the product and are
willing to pay

Market Economy
Strengths: People can start their
own businesses, more choice
Weaknesses: The desire for money
may lead to poor quality of goods
and services, business owners have
to risk losing money

Economic
System Quotes

Mixed Economy
Market + Command = Mixed
There are no pure command or market
economies. To some degree, all modern
economies show characteristics of both
systems and are often referred to as mixed
economies.
Most economies are closer to one type of
economic system than another
For example, businesses own resources and
determine what and how to produce, but the
Government regulates certain industries

Mixed Economy
Most democratic countries fall in this
category (there are no truly pure Market
or Command economies).
Examples: U.S., Brazil, Mexico, Canada,
UK, etc.

Explain how specialization encourages trade
between countries

Use the Factors of Voluntary Trade Graphic

Organizer to take notes on Specialization
during this presentation.

Specialization encourages
voluntary trade and can be a
positive factor in a countrys
economy.
Specialization occurs when one
country can produce a good or
service at a lower opportunity
cost than another country.

Vocabulary Review:
With a seat partner determine whether the images
represent a good or a service.

How are tariffs, quotas,

and embargos barriers
to trade?
SS6E2b, SS6E6a, SS6E9c
Compare and contrast different types of
trade barriers such as tariffs, quotas, and
embargos

Use the Factors of Voluntary Trade Graphic

Organizer to take notes on Trade Barriers
during this presentation.

Sometimes countries set up

Trade Barriers to restrict trade
because they want to sell and
produce their own goods.
Trade Barriers include:
Tariff
Quota
Embargo

Trade Barrier: Tariff

Tariffs are taxes placed on

imported goods.
Tariffs cause the consumer to pay a higher
price for an imported item, increasing the
demand for a lower-priced item produced
domestically.

Trade Barriers: Tariffs

American Revolution

Trade Barrier: Quotas

Quotas are limits on the

amount of a good that can be
imported into a country.
Quotas can cause shortages that cause
prices to rise.

Trade Barrier:
Embargos

Embargoes forbid trade with

another country.
The United States had a trade embargo with
South Africa during apartheid.

Trade Barriers:
Embargos
Embargoes usually happen for
political reasons. Because the United
States does not want to support
countries that may support terrorism,
it has used embargos against Iran,
Iraq, and Syria.

Trade Barrier

country has all of the resources
it needs to provide for its people.
Moreover, every country has
different resources.

What are resources?

With a seat partner, make a list
of examples of resources.
What happens when you do not
have the resources you need?

We have a
global economy
because countries
trade with others
from all over the
world.

The global economy

questions:

1. How do you measure your height?

2. How do you measure the amount of
drink you have in your cup?
3. How do you measure the
temperature outside?

So then, How do you think the

growth of an economy is
measured?

How is Economic Growth

Measured?
Economic growth in a country is
measured by the countrys Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) in one
year
GDP = the total of goods and
services produced in one year within
a country

Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

GDP is a domestic measurement because
it measures only what has been produced
within a country this does not include
products that are imported.
It is much better for the economy of a
country to produce its own goods and
services [this increases the countrys GDP].

Gross Domestic Product

Measuring the GDP each year can:
Compare one countrys economy to
another
Check a countrys economic progress
over time
Show if the economy is growing or not

What is GDP?

Economic Growth
There are 4 main factors that influence
economic growth within a country:

Investment in Human Capital

Investment in Physical Capital
Land [natural resources] available
Entrepreneurship
The presence or absence of these 4
factors determine the countrys Gross
Domestic Product for the year

Investment
What do you think investment
means? Turn to a seat partner
and share your thoughts.
Investment is when money,
resources, or opportunities are
provided in order to gain profitable
returns in the future
Who makes the investment???

Investment in Human Capital

Human Capital refers to the
people who perform labor
When countries invest in Human
Capital, they are providing
education and/or training for the
people who perform the labor
How would investing in human
capital impact the GDP of a
country?

Investment in Human Capital

Studies have shown that investment
in the education and skills training of
people relates to a higher GDP.
Education and the abilities it develops
create a smarter and more productive
workforce, which leads to greater
economic growth.

Human Capital, Literacy

Rate, and Standard of Living
There is a relationship between education levels
and human capital in terms of peoples ability to
produce income.
Literacy Rate is the number of people in an area
that can read and write.
Standard of Living is a level of material comfort
as measured by the goods, services, and
luxuries available to an individual, group, or
nation.

Standard of Living
What are some of the goods,
services, and luxuries that
someone with a high standard of
living might enjoy that someone
with a low standard of living
might not enjoy?

Standard of Living

With a seat partner, discuss which

country you think has the higher
standard of living. Be able to explain
your answer.

Human Capital, Literacy

Rate, and Standard of Living
If you can read, you can learn. If you can learn,
you can improve your work skills, and get a
better job that pays a better salary. If you have a
better salary, you can improve your standard of
living.
A country that improves the literacy rate among
its citizens will improve the standard of living
within that country and improve its economy.
Educated and skilled workers are an important
factor in a countrys economic growth.

Human Capital
What is the current
investment in your
human capital?

Investment in Capital [Physical]

Physical Capital refers to the
factories, machinery, and technology
used to produce goods and services.
When countries invest in Physical
Capital, they are providing better
facilities, resources and/or materials
for the people who perform the labor
How would investing in physical
capital impact the GDP of a country?

Investment in Physical Capital

Investment in physical capital relates to
a higher GDP.
More advanced factories, machinery,
and technology creates a more
productive workforce, which leads to
greater economic growth [higher GDP].

Natural Resources are
materials or substances
that occur in nature and
can be used for economic
gain.

Natural Resources
With a seat partner, discuss
the following question:
How does the presence or
absence of natural
resources impact a
countrys economy [GDP]?

Natural Resources
Countries that have a lot of natural
resources are able to use them to
produce goods and services cheaper
than a country that has to import
natural resources.
Therefore, a country with a lot of
natural resources USUALLY has a
greater GDP than a country with little
natural resources.

Entrepreneurship
An Entrepreneur is someone who has
an idea for a good or service and takes
the risks to produce it.
Entrepreneurs are important because
they come up with new ideas and use
human, capital, and natural resources
to bring their ideas to life and to the
marketplace.

Entrepreneurship
It can be several things:
Starting your own business
Inventing something new
Changing the way something
was previously done so that it
works better

How does Entrepreneurship

Influence Economic Growth?
Entrepreneurship creates jobs and
reduces unemployment
Entrepreneurship encourages
people to take risks, and in doing
so, create better materials,
products, technologies, etc.
The more entrepreneurs a country
has, the higher the countrys GDP

Economy
Service industries like banking,
insurance, and business services
account for most of the UKs gross
domestic product
Over the decades, the government
has turned over many state-owned
companies to private ownership
setting up free market competition
In short, the United Kingdom has a
mixed market economy because
some of its economy is driven by

[Western Germany invests money

in Eastern German states to help modernize
and update factories and production lines.
West Germany had to bring
East Germanys command economy into its
market economy]

Russias Mixed Market

Economy
Russia has struggled as it
transitions from a command
economy under the Soviet Union to a
mixed market economy today

but the Russian government is still
largely involved with many aspects
of the economy
Russia faces financial problems and
huge costs to improve its old plants

Think, Pair, Share:

Answer the question on the bottom of

your

Explain why the United Kingdom and Germany are closer to the
market side of the continuum even though all three countries are
identified as a mixed market economy.

The economic continuum is based on

government control. More government control
means the closer a country is to a command
economy. Less government control means the
closer a country is to a market economy.
There is more government control of the
economy in Russia than in Germany or the
United Kingdom; therefore, Russia lies closer
to the command side of the continuum.
