Problems of a command economy
problems of gathering information
expensive to administer
inefficient allocation of resources
inappropriate incentives
no system of prices
• shortages and surpluses
• lack of response to consumer demand

The free-market economy based on free decision making by
individuals and firms demand and supply decisions the price mechanism
shortages and surpluses• shortage price rises
• surplus price falls
equilibrium price• where demand equals supply
response to change in demand and supply

SupplySupply
Relationship between supply and price as price rises, firms supply more
it is worth incurring the extra unit costs they switch from less profitable goods in the long run, new firms will be encouraged to
enter the market
The supply curve assumptions the axes illustrates how much would be supplied at
each price
