Economic systems

|
In primitive economies, the individual uses the resources directly to provide what he wants. Thus Robinson Crusoe had to decide (должен был решить) how much time to spend hunting, fishing, growing corn and relaxing in the sun.
Today, however, man specializes in production, obtaining the variety of goods he wants by exchange.
Man’s first exchanges were quite simple, there was a direct exchange of one good for another, thus a market was established.
The subsistence economy had now evolved into the market economy that answers to the questions:
What goods and services must firms produce?
How much of each good and service must be produced?
How must the goods and services be produced? etc.
In his book «The Wealth of Nations» published in 1776, Adam Smith described the principal elements of the economic system. In one of the chapters of the book, Smith turned to the pin industry to demonstrate how the division of labour and demand, and the use of machinery increased output. Smith’s «The Wealth of Nations» contains some of the best descriptions of the principles upon which the economic system of most countries is based.
In contrast to the market economy there is the «command» or «centrally directed (planned) economy» where the state decides what to produce, directs the factors of production accordingly and distributes what is produced.
Answer the questions:
1) How did the individual in primitive economies use the resources?
2) What can you say about man’s first exchanges?
3) What are the other types of economy called?
4) What principal questions are associated with the market economy?
5) What did Adam Smith tried to demonstrate in his book «The Wealth of Nations»?
