Communism/Capitalism Review

​Why would the U.S. use this economic system?

​As we've learned so far, capitalism is the economic system the U.S. uses.

​You will answer this question on the next slide.

​Communism is another popular type of economic system. This type of economic system is also a form of government. If a country's government is communist, that country also uses a communist style economy.

​Both are economic systems.​

​However, only one is also a type of government.

Most capitalist countries use a democratic style of government in which the people who live in that country vote to make a lot of the decisions.

Communist countries do not give their people an option. Whatever the government says, goes. ​
