Economic Systems
The economic system accomplishes
two basic economic task:
The task of producing goods and services,
which requires determining what will be
produced, how it will be produced and
who will produce it.
The task of distributing these goods and
services among its members which
requires determining who will get what
and how much each will get.

Free Markets And Rights:


John Locke
John Locke (1632-1704), an English political
philosopher developed the idea that human
beings have a natural right to liberty and
a natural right to private property.
Locke argued that if there were no
governments, human beings would find
themselves in a state of nature and would
be free from the law of nature.
Every one would be equal in every aspect

The right to life, liberty and property
Individuals have an absolute right to do whatever
they want with their property and the government
has no right to interfere with or confiscate an
individuals private property even for the good of
society (Fifth Amendment of US Constitution)

improve something, that person acquires property
rights over that thing

Criticism of Lockean Rights


Lockes critics focus on four weakness in his argument:
1. The assumption that individuals have natural rights:
This assumption is unproven and assumes that the rights to
liberty and property should take precedence over all other
rights. If humans do not have the overriding rights to liberty
and property, then the fact that free markets would
preserve the rights does not mean a great deal.
2. The conflict between negative rights and positive
rights: Why should negative rights such as liberty take
precedence over positive rights? Critics argue, in fact, that
we have no reason to believe that the rights to liberty and
property are overriding.

Criticism of Lockean Rights


Lockes critics focus on four weakness in his argument:
3. The conflict between Lockean rights and justice: Free
markets create unjust inequalities, and people who have no
property/who are unable to work will not be able to live. As a
result, without government intervention, the gap between
richest and poorest will widen. Unless government
intervenes to adjust the distribution of property, large groups
of citizens will remain at a subsistence level while others
grow ever wealthier.
4.
Individualistic assumptions and their conflicts with
the ethics of caring: Locke assumes that people are
individuals first, independent of their communities. But
humans are born dependent on others, and without caring
relationships, no human could survive.

Free Markets And Utility:


Adam Smith
Adam Smith (1723-1790), the father of
modern economics is the originator of this
utilitarian argument for free market.
Adam Smith argued that when private
individuals are left free to seek their own
interests in free markets, they will inevitably be
led to further the public welfare by an invisible
hand.
Invisible Hand: According to Adam Smith, the
market competition that drives self-interested
individuals to act in ways that serve society.

Free Markets And Utility:


Adam Smith
Second major defense of unregulated markets rests on the
utilitarian argument that unregulated markets and private
property will produce greater benefits than any regulation
could.
In a system with free markets and private property, buyers will
seek to purchase what they want for themselves at the lowest
prices they can find:
Private businesses will produce and sell what consumers
want;
Sell at lowest possible prices
The free market coupled with private property, ensures that the
economy is producing what consumers want, prices are at the
lowest levels possible and that resources are efficiently used.
The economic utility of societys members is maximized.

Free Markets And Utility:


Adam Smith
In a competitive market, a multiplicity of
private businesses must all compete with
each other for the same buyers.
To attract customers, each seller is forced
to sell what the consumers want and to
drop the price as low as possible.
The competition produced by a multiple of
self-interested private sellers serves to
lower prices, conserve resources, and make
producers respond to consumer desires.

Free Markets And Utility:


Adam Smith
Smith argued that a system of competitive markets allocates
resources efficiently. Examples: Natural Price: The price that covers the price of producing a
commodity including the going rate of profits in other markets.
When a supply of a certain commodity is not enough to meet
demand, the buyers need to pay a higher price than the
natural price.
Producers of that commodity will reap profits higher then those
available to producers of other commodities.
The higher profits will induce producers of other products to
switch their resources into the production of the more
profitable commodity.
As a result shortage of that commodity disappears and the
price sinks back to its natural level.

According to Adam Smith, the best policy of

Keynesian Criticism of Adam


Smith
Most influential criticism of Adam Smiths classical
assumption came from John Maynard Keynes (18831946).
Smith assumed that without any help from government,
the automatic play of market forces ensure full
employment of all economic resources including labor.
Aggregate Demand: Keynes argued that the total
demand for goods & services is the sum of the demand
of three sectors of the economy: household, businesses
and government
The aggregate demand of these three sectors may be less
than the aggregate amounts of goods and services
supplied by the economy at the fullest employment level.

Keynesian Criticism of Adam


Smith
This mismatch between aggregate demand and aggregate
supply will occur when household prefer to save some of
their income in liquid securities instead of spending it on
goods and services.
When aggregate demand is less than aggregate supply the
result is a contraction of supply.
Businesses realize they are not selling all their goods and
services they will cut back on production causes cut back
on employment.
As production falls the incomes of household also fall but
the amount households are willing to save fall even faster:
The economy reaches a stable point of equilibrium at
which demand equals supply but at which there is
widespread unemployment of labor and other resources.

Keynesian Criticism of Adam


Smith
According to Keynes

Government can influence the propensity to save


via monetary (money supply) and fiscal (tax and
government spending) policies, and therefore can
lower the level of unemployment.
Government can prevent excess savings through
its influence on interest rates by regulating the
money supply. The higher the money supply, the
lower the interest rate
Government can influence the household savings
be raising or lowering taxes
Inflation is incidentally the result.

Criticizing Markets and Trade
According to Marx:
Capitalism ofers only two sources of income:
o Sale of ones own labor;
o Ownership of the means of production (buildings,
machinery, land, raw materials)
1s are forced to sell their labor to 2s because they
cannot produce anything without access to the
means of production.
As a result, the income gap between 1s and 2s is
widened.

Workers cannot produce anything without access to


the means of production so they are forced to sell
their labor to the owner in return for a wage.

The owner does not pay workers the full value of

source of the owners profits.
Those who own the means of production becomes
wealthier and workers becomes relatively poorer.

produce are taken away by the capitalist employer.
Capitalism forces people into work that they find
