1. Planned economy 2. Market economy 3. Mixed economy The differences between the three types of economies are: The planned economy is when the government has control of the society and makes all the decision. The difference between the planned economy and the marketing economy is that the marketing economy doesnt have a fixed amount of products which they have to make. The market economy is when the governments role is limited to providing legislation to protect businesses and consumers and making sure no single business or organisation restricts competition. The planned economy cant afford any luxury items such as mobile phones and prices are fixed by the government. There is no competition in the planned economy because of the control that the government has over them. The mixed economy is a combination of both planned and the market economy. The mixed economy shares similar attributes to both planned and market economy because the government controls some of the resources and the market controls the rest which means that both government and businesses have control.
