Type your answer below. Please

use full sentences

Write a brief summary of

the economic system of
the country: Identify and
explain the type of
economic system.

Subsistence agriculture employs

approximately 70% of the
population. Before 2010, the
main producers were sugar and
wood pulp for much of their
history. Now, however, sugar is
the main export earner. Wood
pulp manufacturing closed down
in 2010. This countrys economy
is centered on agriculture, and
the country itself is located in a
generally rural environment.
Traditions and customs are very
strong in this country. All of these
points have brought me to the
conclusion that this is a
traditional economy.

I used the Gapminder.org

webpage to get my information
for this portion of the
assignment. I compared
Swaziland, South Africa and the
US in all the categories I chose.

(PPP)(% of Population). South
Africa and Swaziland were
examined: South Africa is shown
to be 31.33% in 2009. In 2010,
Swaziland was at 60.4% poverty
level. The last indicator is
Inflation, GDP deflator (annual
%). In 2011, the inflation rate
