    UNIT 7: THE INVISIBLE HAND OF THE MARKET

    I. Read and learn:

    By following their self-own interest in open and competitive markets

    consumers producers and workers are led to use their economic resources in ways that

    have the greatest value to the national economy ! at leas in terms of satisfying more of

    people"s wants. #he first person to point out this fact in a systematic way was the $cottish

    philosopher %dam $mith who pu&lished his most famous &ook An Inquiry into the

    Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations in '((). $mith was the first great classical

    economist and among the first to descri&e how an economy &ased on a system of market

    could promote economic efficiency and individual freedom regardless of whether people

    were particularly industrious or lazy.

    $mith argued that if people are naturally good and kind a market economy offers

    them a great deal of economic freedom to carry out their good deeds &acked up &y an

    efficient system of production which generates more material goods and services for

    them to use in doing those good works. But what if people are selfish greedy or lazy*

    %nyone who wants to en+oy more of the material goods and services produced in

    a market economy faces strong economic incentives to work hard spend carefully save

    and invest. %nd most successful &usinesses have to produce good products sell them at

    market prices pay their employees market wages and treat their customers courteously !

    even if that isn"t their natural way of doing things.

    #he &asic reason for that kind of change in some people"s &ehaviour is

    competition. %s %dam $mith pointed out when there are several &utcher shops in acommunity any &utcher who is rude or tries to sell inferior meat at unreasona&le prices

    soon looses &usiness and income to other &utcher shops. , the more a greedy or selfish

    &utcher wants to en+oy a higher standard of living the more he or she will try to meet the

    competition and &uild up a large &ase of satisfied customers. /r as $mith descri&ed this

    feature of market economies people are led: 0as if &y an invisi&le hand" to work and

    &ehave in ways that use resources efficiently in terms of producing things that other

    people want and are willing to pay for even though that may have not &een part of their

    original intentions1.

    /ne other factor must &e at work for $mith"s invisi&le hand to function properly:

    the &utcher must own or rent the shop so that he or she has the rights to its profits.

    2ithout this right to private property and to the profits it &rings the invisi&le hand of

    competition will not motivate &usiness to offer the &est and most varied products at

    reasona&le prices.

    By decentralizing the control of economic resources ! letting individual producers

    decide what and how to produce to satisfy their customers ! competition and self interest

    insure that most resources availa&le in a market economy are used efficiently which is to

    say in their most valua&le uses as directed &y what consumers demand and &uy1.

    UNIT 7: INFLATION

    I. Reading session:

    10/22

    2ill inflation remain one of the most intracta&le pro&lems confronting societies in

    transition from centralized to free market economies* It will &e however a challenge

    that such societies must meet if they are to en+oy the material &enefits that a market

    economy can provide.

    Inflation is an increase in the average price level of the goods and services

    produced and sold in an economy. Inflation typically occurs in a market economy for on

    of two reasons: either people increase their spending faster than producers are a&le to

    increase the supply of the goods and services5 or there is a decrease in the supply of

    goods and services to consumers andFor producers which drives up prices. Inflation has

    sometimes &een descri&ed as an increasing amount of money chasing a shrinking num&er

    of goods.Inflation hits economies in transition hard &ecause price li&eralization ! the

    removal of government control of prices ! is an essential step towards a market economy.

    #he initial result of such price li&eralization is predicta&le ! a wave of price increases for

    goods that were in chronic short supply. 2hy* Because the government held their prices

    artificially low so demand perennially outstripped supply or &ecause of other economic

    distortions and inefficiencies created &y government decision-makers. In addition if

    people are holding large amounts of money at the time of this transition ,since there was

    little of value to &uy the pressure of inflation can &e even greater.

    Cevertheless the rewards of enduring the inevita&le &out of inflation during this

    transitional period are su&stantial. Lnfettered &y government the market mechanisms of

    supply and demand will &egin to function. Migh prices signal strong demands and the

    market al&eit slowly and haltingly at first responds with increased production.

  • 8/13/2019 Www.referat.ro-engleza Pentru Afaceri

    11/22

    #he key element in this transition is for the government to relin6uish its role in

    setting prices and permit the market forces of supply and demand to esta&lish prices for

    virtually all goods and services. 2hen such a free market is esta&lished inflation may

    persist &ut it is a far more managea&le and less threatening pro&lem than in the early

    hard days of economic transition.1
