Tonight is the school musical!! Also, I was late because I had to get my flu shot..which I was hyperventilating. We then covered current events and went over the Europe map. On Monday, we will start the next section of the map. 

Capitalism~ An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and the reinvestment of profits gained in a free market. 

Socialism~ Theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc, in the community as a whole. Or, when the government regulates the economy. Examples: Canada, Soviet Union, North Korea, and Denmark. None are truly socialism, but they are mixed, leaning more towards a government. 

Absolute Monarchy~ Vatican City is an example of absolute monarchy in modern day. a leader has unlimited or absolute power over everything.
