• What goods and services should be produced

2. How to Produce it?

• What methods should be used?

3. Who to Produce it For?

• Everyone equally?• People with money?

• Round 3: "Make As Much As We Want Ville"

Economic Freedom - freedom to buy or sell what we want, make choices with little interference by the government• Individual – where to work, study, consume• Business – what, where and how to produce

Economic Freedom

Economic Efficiency - making the most of scarce resources, using your resources wisely and productively• Technological innovations allow society to be more productive• Humans to robots

Economic Efficiency

Economic Security - government will provide a safety net in times of economic downturns• Social Security, welfare, unemployment checks, etc.

Economic Security

Economic Predictability - knowing that goods and services will consistently be available• Gas, food, energy, etc.

Economic Predictability

Economic Equity – Fair work for fair pay; being paid according to your skill level• Lebron James is higher paid than a teacher• A teacher is higher paid than a cashier at Wal-mart

Economic Equity

Economic Growth – improving the economy from year to year, improving people’s standard of living• Individual – better jobs, nicer homes, newer cars….better stuff!• Business – produce more, increase customers, open new factories, etc.

Economic Growth

Activator Imagine that you are walking into Walmart. List 3

items that you could purchase and the departments that you would find them in.

Market – buyers and sellers meet to exchange goods and services Market Economy – economic decisions are made by consumers and

businesses based on buying and selling of goods and services All resources are privately owned The government has a very limited role

The Free Market

Voluntary Exchange – is the act of buyers and sellers willingly and freely engaging in market transaction where both parties benefit.

Examples: When I buy gasoline, I get energy for my car, the firm gets my

money

Voluntary Exchange

Consumer Sovereignty - in a free market, consumers determine the goods that are produced; this makes them "sovereign“ or the ruler over what is produced in an economy.

“Ruler” of the market; expressed through a “dollar-vote” for products when we make purchases. “The customer is always right”.

When consumers buy products, they signal to producers what to make and how much to produce.

Role of the Consumer

Specialization Specialization – the separation of tasks; people

focus on a specific purpose/task Division of Labor – Workers perform fewer

tasks in order to operate more efficiently

Specialization Examples

Social Studies

Math

Science

English

Specialization Examples

Rancher

Publix Worker

Slaughter House Meat Cutter

Final Good (Output)

Consumer Good

Productivity (Efficiency) – average amount of output (good or service) per unit of labor input Increased productivity means to do more with less Capital investments allow increased efficiency

Specialization and Efficiency

Specialization and Productivity

Productivity Creates Wealth

3rd World Countries Developed Countries

Mary looks over reports on four of her workers. Jack made 25 baskets in 5 hours. Walter made 36 baskets in 6 hours. Rudy made 40 baskets in 10 hours. Sam made 22 baskets in 4 hours. Jim made 50 baskets in 10 hours. Who has the greatest productivity?

Productivity

Jack 25/5 = 5 Baskets per hourWalter 36/6 = 6 Baskets per hourRudy 40/10 = 4 Baskets per hourSam 22/4 = 5.5 Baskets per hourJim 50/10 = 5 Baskets per hour

Walter has the greatest productivity

Free Market Video

Markets Consist of Buyers and Sellers

Household – Person or group of people living in a residence Consumers - use the final goods and services (outputs)

to satisfy wants and needs Firm – business organization that uses resources to

produce goods/services, which it then sells Suppliers – transform “inputs” (F.O.P.) into “outputs”

(products)

Households and Firms

Product Markets – Households and firms interact; producers sell their goods and services to consumers Households are buyers of goods and services Firms are sellers of goods and services (outputs)

Product Markets

Factor Markets – the markets where productive resources (F.O.P are bought and sold

Inputs: Firms are the buyers, households are the sellers Labor - Firms (businesses) hire workers and pay them

salaries Land - Purchas/rent land Capital (financial) - Use money from households

(savings, investment, etc) to purchase capital goods

Factor Markets

Circular Flow Model - shows the flow of money and inputs/outputs from and to firms and households.

Role of the Government in a Market Economy Government acts an informer, protector, provider, and regulator Government has the responsibility to protect property rights,

inform the public and oversee business activities

Role of the Government as Informer: Make sure that producers provide consumers with full disclosure

Consumers use govt. info. to protect themselves from dangerous products and fraudulent claims.

Role of the Government as Informer

Role of government as a protector: Federal government acts to preserve competition, regulates airlines, communications,

banking, etc. Though they do not control it, they impose various restrictions on the private market

Gas stations, must dispose of used motor oil properly Zoning laws, prevent homeowners from running businesses out of their homes

Role of Government as Protector

Government regulation can have negative effects on businesses and consumers Negative effects:

1. New rules can increase the cost of business2. Government oversight can cause reduced incentives to produce3. Increase of governmental oversight (creating new programs) can lead to higher taxes

Government as a Regulator

Public sector- the part of the economy that involves the goods provided by the government

Private sector- the part of the economy that involves the goods provided by private firms

Government as a Provider

Public Good/Service - A shared good or service for which it would be impractical to make consumers pay individually and to exclude nonpayers. Education, Military, National Park, Snow Removal, Police, Firefighters

Public Goods and Services

When the government takes from one group and reallocates to another group

Welfare, Social Security, Unemployment, Food Stamps, etc.

Redistribution of Income

The market, on its own, does not distribute resources efficiently Externalities

Market Failure

Negative Externality – negative effects experienced by people that had no part in the consumption of a good or service Cigarette smoker, chemical waste dumping, foreclosures and property values,

etc.

Negative Externalities

Negative Externalities

Goods/services that generate benefits to many people, not just those who pay for the goods Education, better technology, medicine, etc.

Positive Externalities

Write an example of a negative and positive externality. What kind of government regulation could be used to

eliminate your negative externality?

Application Question

Command – central authority owns and operates the Factors of Production

Centrally Planned Economy – central government answers the three economic questions; WHAT to produce, HOW to produce, and FOR WHOM to produce Oppose private property, free market pricing, economic

freedom

Command Economies

Travel Restrictions• “The restriction includes tourist travel to Cuba

from or through a third country such as Mexico or Canada … Travelers who fail to comply with Department of the Treasury regulations could face civil penalties and criminal prosecution upon return to the United States.”

Karl Marx – German social philosopher that studied economic systems in Europe

Communist Manifesto – written by Marx and Frederick Engels became basis for modern-day command economies

Thought capitalism would fail because it put too much wealth in the hands of few and left everyone else poor

Believed in a “no-class” system, where all share in wealth/power Socialism – distribution of wealth and F.O.P. equally amongst society Communism – political and economic system with centralized economic

decision-making Authoritarian Government – exact strict obedience from their citizens; do not

allow individual freedom

Today’s Assignments• Economic Systems - Open-Notes Quiz (Ch. 2)• American Free Enterprise Open-Notes Quiz

(Ch. 3)

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win. Every time a football player goes to play his trade he's got to play from the ground up-from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

Vince Lombardi “What it Takes To Be Number 1”

Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization-an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win-to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is. It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there-to compete. To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules-but to win. And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat. I don't say these things because I believe in the "brute" nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."
