Chapter 2: Economic Systems Section 2

Slide 2Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Objectives 1.Explain why markets exist. 2.Analyze a circular flow model of a free market economy. 3.Describe the self-regulating nature of the marketplace. 4.Identify the advantages of a free market economy.

Slide 3Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Key Terms market: any arrangement that allows buyers and sellers to exchange things specialization: the concentration of the productive efforts of individuals and businesses on a limited number of activities free market economy: an economic system in which decisions on the three key economic questions are based on the voluntary exchange in markets household: a person or group living in a single residence firm: an organization that uses resources to produce a product or service, which it then sells factor market: the arena of exchange in which firms purchase the factors of production from households product market: the arena of exchange in which households purchase goods and services from firms self-interest: an individual’s own personal gain

Slide 4Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Key Terms, cont. incentive: the hope of reward or fear of penalty that encourages a person to behave a certain way competition: the struggle among producers for the dollars of consumers invisible hand: a term coined by Adam Smith to describe the self-regulating nature of the marketplace consumer sovereignty: the powers of consumers to decide what gets produced

Slide 5Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Introduction What are the characteristics of a free market economy? –A free market economy is characterized by: Households and firms Factor and product markets Self-interest Competition Economic freedom, efficiency, and equity

Slide 6Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: The Purpose of Markets Checkpoint: Why do markets exist? –Markets, like a farmer’s market, a sporting goods store, and the New York Stock Exchange, eliminate the need for any one person to be self-sufficient. –Markets allow us to exchange the things we have for the things we want.

Slide 7Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Specialization Rather than being self-sufficient, each of us specializes in a few products or services. –Specialization leads to efficient use of land, labor, and capital. –Specialization allows businesses to focus on a limited number of related products or services. Because of specialization, markets are needed to give people a place to sell their products, and a place to buy products they need but don’t produce.

Slide 8Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Free Market Economy In a free market, answers to the three key economic questions are made by voluntary exchange in the marketplace. Choices, made by individuals, determine what gets made, how it is made, and how much people can consume. In a free market system, individuals and privately owned businesses own the factors of production.

Slide 9Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Circular Flow Model of a Market Economy

Slide 10Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Circular Flow Model of a Market Economy

Slide 11Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Factor and Product Markets In the factor market, firms purchase factors of production, such as renting land, hiring and paying workers, and borrowing money for capital, from households. In the product market, households purchase goods and services that firms produce.

Slide 12Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Self-Regulation In The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith observes that in the countless transactions that occur in the market, the buyer and seller consider only their self-interest. – Self-interest is the motivating force in the free market. –Consumers pursuing their self-interest have an incentive to look for lower prices.

Slide 13Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Self-Regulation, cont. According to Smith, consumers will respond to the positive incentive of lower prices by buying more goods because spending less money on a good lowers the opportunity cost of the purchase.

Slide 14Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Competition Checkpoint: Why is competition important to the free market? –Firms seek to make higher profits by increasing sales. –Because of competition, increasing sales is not always possible. –Self-interest and competition work together to regulate the marketplace. –Smith called this self-regulating mechanism of the market “the invisible hand.”

Slide 15Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Advantages of a Free Market Under ideal conditions, free market economies meet the following economic goals: –They respond to rapidly changing conditions. –They have a large degree of economic freedom. –They encourage economic growth. –They lend themselves to consumer sovereignty. What free market principle does this cartoon illustrate?

Slide 16Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter 2, Section 2: Advantages, cont. Despite the advantages of a free market economy, no country today operates under a pure, unregulated free market.
