World Trade • Throughout history, trade has played an important role in establishing economic development and success. Listed below are elements of trade. • Products or resources sold to other countries are called exports. • Products or resources that come into a country are called imports. • A country may choose to focus on producing only one or two products or resources; this is called specialization.
Government and Economics • In order to fund public services, governments have to tax their people. Throughout history, taxation has been used to fund a number of projects, such as the Great Pyramids, the Great Wall of China, and waterworks in Rome. Taxes were not always paid by using currency. In ancient Egypt, farmers paid taxes by giving grain, among other farm products, to the pharaoh. The pharaoh would then store the grain for the empire to use at other times. Over time, currency evolved as a form of payment for goods or services.
Economic Systems • Traditional economy: Goods and services traded; money rarely exchanged. • Command or Planned economy: Production of goods and services is decided by central government, which owns most resources and businesses. • Market economy: production of goods and services is determined by supply and demand. • Mixed economy: A blend of command and market economies.
