The Advantages and Disadvantages Of A Market Economy.

27/9/96 Command and Market economies Neil Samtani

     When considering the advantages and disadvantages of command and market
economies, you may notice that they are usually straight forward, yet, both
advantages and disadvantages may merge at times, resulting in an unclear issue,
that could be debatable whether it is for the good of the society, or for the
government. Therefore, what I am trying to say, is that no matter how hard you
try, it is always impossible to debate on which economic system is better. Both
have their good points and their bad, but, each is aimed towards a community
that will make use of it. This community has usually got a majority of people
either rich or poor, and, social class usually effects the way people may choose
their government.
     In a market economy, the advantages are normally aimed towards the
middle/upper class in a community. This is why we normally find them in richer

mentioned before, which is the way that you can not categorise all statements.
This would be an advantage for the rich, but, a disadvantage for the poor.
However, governments may also affect the situation, resulting in the rich
getting richer, and, the poor managing to stay alive.
     The entire idea of the market economy is freedom. The freedom for people
to do what they want, make what they want, and, sell what they want (to a
certain extent). This can also be described as being able to decide WHAT is
going to be produced (what products), HOW it is going to be produced
(organisation, etc.) and FOR WHOM it is going to be produced. This is definitely
an advantage, as freedom and rights are allowed. Besides this, the norm is that
