Text h Mixed Economies

I. Прочтите текст и укажите, какие утверждения соответствуют тексту true (T), какие нет – false (F):

1. An intermediate system known as mixed economies has developed because command and market economies have significant drawbacks.

2. A mixed economy contains elements of either market or planned economies.

3. In mixed economies all resources are controlled by the state.

4. Technically, all the economies of the world are mixed.

5. The task of mixed economies is to avoid the disadvantages of command economies.

6. The mixed economy enjoys the benefits of both systems - market and command economies.

Command and market economies both have significant faults. Partly because of this, an intermediate system has developed, known as mixed economies.

A mixed economy contains elements of both market and planned economies. At one extreme we have a command economy, which does not allow individuals to make economic decisions, at the other extreme we have a free market, where individuals exercise considerable economic freedom of choice without any government restrictions. Between these two extremes lies a mixed economy. In mixed economies some resources are controlled by the government whilst others are used in response to the demands of consumers.

Technically, all the economies of the world are mixed. Some countries are nearer to command economies, while others are closer to free market economies.

The aim of mixed economies is to avoid the disadvantages of both systems while enjoying the benefits that they both offer. So, in a mixed economy the government and the private sector interact in solving economic problems. The state controls the share of the output through taxation and transfer payments and intervenes to supply essential items such as health, education and defence, while private firms produce cars, furniture, electrical items and similar, less essential products.

The UK is a country with mixed economy. Some services are provided by the state (for example, health care and defence) whilst a range of privately owned businesses offer other goods and services
