Command Economy

  • Government ownership of the means of production. In command economies, governments will own some or all of the industries producing goods and services.
  • Government pricing and production decisions. In a command economy, production is decided by government agencies, who decide the most socially efficient goods to produce. Government agencies may also set prices or give consumers rations directly.
  • Government macro-economic objectives. In a command economy, the government will have over-riding macroeconomic objectives such as employment rates and what to produce.
  • Some centrally planned economies may consist of not just state-owned enterprises, but some privately owned firms who are closely directed by state management.

In a mixed economy, as tons of people have proved throughout the years, one can get filthy rich. I'm talking millions and millions and millions. You don't hear about people in North Korea's command economy (or as close to command there is) making millions off an idea they had. You know why? The people did not get the credit they deserve, in fact the government takes all the credit and most of the money. People are fleeing from all over creation to the mixed economies of the world, especially the United States because they know they have the freedom to create what they want without the government taking any credit.
