JOHN PAUL A. PALOMO

economic decisions.

determines what goods should be
produced, how much should be produced
and the price at which the goods are
offered for sale.
Command Economy

The government or a collective owns the land


and the means of production. It doesn't rely on
the laws of supply and demand that operate in
a market economy.

A key feature of any communist society.

ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT

Socialism developed as an objection to liberal


individualism and capitalism. Under early capitalist
economies during the 17th and 18th centuries, western
European countries experienced compound economic
growth and industrial production for the first time. Some
individuals and families escaped poverty faster than
others, creating income inequality and other social
concerns.
ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT

The most famous early socialist thinkers were


Robert Owen, Henri de Saint-Simon, Karl Marx and
Vladimir Lenin. It was primarily Lenin who expounded
on the ideas of earlier socialists and helped bring
socialist planning to the national level after the
Bolshevik Revolution in Russia during 1917.
Breaking down Socialism

Prominent historical examples of socialist countries


include the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Today's
examples include Cuba, Venezuela and China.

Due to its practical challenges and poor track record,


socialism is sometimes referred to as a utopian or
post-scarcity system, although modern adherents
believe it could work if only properly implemented.
COMMUNISM
COMMUNISM
A political and economic ideology based on communal
ownership and the absence of class.
can be thought of as capitalism's opposite, says that in
a capitalist society, the proletariat is exploited by the
bourgeois.
the proletariat - the class of wage earners, especially those who
earn their living by manual labor or who are dependent for support
on daily or casual employment
the bourgeois - a member of the middle class; a person whose
political, economic, and social opinions are believed to be
determined mainly by concern for property values and conventional
respectability.
While based on a Utopian ideal of equality and
abundance, as expressed by the popular slogan,
"From each according to his ability, to each according to
his need,communism in practice has only existed under
authoritarian government and has been the source of
millions of human rights violations and deaths.
Breaking down
Communism

One of the fundamental problems with communism is


the knowledge problem, which describes how, without a
price system, central planners cannot accurately
determine what goods and services should be produced
or in what quantities. Useless surpluses and
devastating shortages are the result.

Communism is often considered to be a twentieth


century political experiment that officially failed in the
late 1980s and early 1990s with the fall of the Berlin
Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
