TEXT
Market and Command Economies
Economics is a science that analyses what, how, and for whom society produces. The central economic problem is to reconcile the conflict between people's unlimited demands with society's ability to produce goods and services.
In industrial Western countries markets are to allocate resources. The market is the process by which production and consumption are coordinated through prices.
In a command economy, a central planning office makes decisions on what, how, and for whom to produce. Economy cannot rely entirely on command, but there was extensive planning in many Soviet bloc countries.
