Presentation Notes-
- Capitalism: Economic system that has private ownership of production. Products are owned by the people, give individuals more opportunity to do things like start your own business. The U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Mexico, and Ireland all use.
- Socialism: Political and economic system in which most valuable property and resources are owned and controlled by the public or state. Any political party type or idea that tries to build the system. Nobody owns anything, but everybody owns everything, the idea is that everybody all has the same stuff, and there are no rich people and no poor people. China, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and Soviet Union uses it. A lot of countries that had this had a lot of the worst dictators ever.
- Oligarchy: Rule of a few people who are generally the people who are richer and more powerful than the others. Examples- Russia, Vladimir Putin since the 1400 hundreds, India- ruled by small circle of wealthy people, U.S.-not one person ruling the country, Britain, and China.
-Mixed Economy: Party manage by the public people who run independent companies, and some is manage by government organizations controlled by the state. Examples- United Kingdom, Cuba, U.S., France, and Russia.
- Practice of Communism: Everything is controlled and ran by the government, people do not have the freedom of speech, religion, and etc. 5 remaining Communist Countries- China,Laos,Cuba,North Korea,and Vietnam. Soviet Union-first communist country older but famous communism.
- Theory of Communism: Every business is owned by the public, and there are no social classes and everyone is equal. No examples of the theory of the theory because every country has someone to control. This theory has really never existed.
