Primitive Communism (Traditional Economy)- This is how humans first lived together – in small tribes. Primitive means basic. Communism means that everything was shared– food, jobs, belongings. No one owned land. Eventually a group comes to power – this leads to Feudalism… Generally no money. Used bartering as a way of exchanging goods. Generally not in use today but used by some African tribes.
Liberty vs Equality • Liberty -The state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life. • Equality- The state of being equal, esp. in status, rights, and opportunities. • Can you have both?
Socialism • Mix of Equality and Liberty • Reaction to the harsh realities of Industrialization/captialism(really rich and really poor) • Between pure capitalism and pure communism • Some private ownership and some public ownership of property • Some government intervention in the economy • Redistribution of income – high taxes on the rich to provide lots of government services
Maximizes Equality/ Least amount of Liberty • Karl Marx– 1848 - “The Communist Manifesto” Friedrich Engels help with ideas • Industrial Revolution – Europe – horrible working conditions - critique of capitalism- socialism does not go far enough.
