Individuals (private citizens) own the means of production i.e. Phelps/Dodge mining company, Ford Motor Company, Nike, Coca Cola, Southwest Airlines, McDonalds, Hilton hotels, apartment complexes, thousands of acres of farmland, basically everything Private individuals own the housing so people have to pay rent or buy Private citizens own the hospitals or insurance companies so you have to pay for healthcare Many schools are private - Harvard, Stanford, Duke University so students have to pay thousands in tuition Banks loan money so you can borrow “capital” to start your own business and make millions Winners (rich) Losers (poor) The rich influence lawmakers to stay in power It is very hard for the workers to go to college, borrow money so some say that the system is unfair Government or state control the factories (government controls all trains, mining, factories, restaurants, hotels, etc.) workers work for the government Government owns all housing so no one is homeless Government owns all the hospitals – free healthcare Government controls all schools – free tuition No banks, no advertising, no commercials because no one is trying to become rich you can’t own your own company and then create a chain of stores to become rich No one is motivated to become rich so they don’t make thousands of stores – so there aren’t lots of things to buy Think of the cereal aisle in an American grocery store – in a communist country Cuba) there might be only white boxes that read “Corn Flakes” Capitalism Communism (socialism)
