From the Paper:
"In conclusion, while there are few pure command or free market economies in the world, most economic systems are loosely based on one of the two systems. Both pure systems have their strengths and weaknesses in production and distribution - the cores of the basic economic problem, which both systems are designed to overcome. The strength of the free market economy lies in its superior productivity when compared to the command system, which is better at redistributing wealth. The mixed economy, a loose term which can describe any economy in the world, is an economic model most highly developed within Scandinavia. It aims to combat the disadvantages of the pure systems by adopting aspects from both. This is reasonably effective, but not perfect. However, a more resilient and equitable economic system borrows aspects from both theoretical systems."Sample of Sources Used:
