UNIT 5 Central Control of the Economy



 

In states which have a communistic system, private property and private enterprise are reduced to a minimum. They exist, but are limited to a small area of the economy. Karl Marx conceived of a world in which there would be no private property whatsoever. Communism in theory states that all property should belong to the State. In practice, however, the citizens of state like Cuba are permitted to have personal effects.

The important thing about the communist system is its central planning. The State organizes the whole economic effort of the nation. A central authority with complete power decides what goods and services will be produced. The authority decides what quantities of goods will be produced, and also controls their quality, deciding how they will be distributed and what prices will be charged for them. In addition, the State provides all (or most of) the services which the citizens require. It is responsible for the economy, and is therefore concerned with methods of production as well as with quality and quantity. The national economy must be planned ahead over a number of years.

A Marxist economy is planned. The system is related to the needs of the State as a whole, not to the needs of the private person. The emphasis is on collective effort and not on personal effort, so that the individual is subordinated to the needs of the collective State.

UNIT 6 Mixed Economies

No state today is completely communistic or completely capitalistic. The various national economic systems tend generally towards one type or the other, but many systems are difficult to classify.

It has been found necessary in many countries, even in such dedicated strongholds of free enterprise as the USA, to control or regulate national economic conditions. The under-developed countries of the world are inevitably interested in control and long-term plans guided by the government. India has had a number of plans guided by the government. India makes a clear distinction between the public sector and the private sector of its economy. Systems of this type are sometimes called mixed economies.

Britain nowadays has a mixed economy. In the public sector of British economic life are the nationalized industries like coal and steel, British Rail and BOAC. In the private sector are the majority of the nation’s industries, both large and small, from giants like ICI and BP to small family businesses.

In 1962 the government set up an official planning body to guide national economic policies. This body is known as the National Economic Development Council. The members of the NEDC are representatives of the employers' federation, and the Trades Union Congress, together with members of the government, eminent industrialists and leading economists.

The main function of the NEDC is planning national production and setting up production targets. It is however a very difficult matter to plan ahead in a mixed economy. It is not possible to plan ahead with any certainty even in a rigidly controlled economy, because natural disasters, political changes and other factors can affect the general plan in unexpected ways.

 

BOAC: British Overseas Airways Corporation

ICI: Imperial Chemical Industries

BP: British Petroleum

UNIT 7 Revision and Conclusion (Units 1-6)

 

Most people work to earn a living, and produce goods and services.

Goods are either agricultural (like maize), or manufactured (like

cars). Services are such things as education, medicine and commerce.

Some people provide goods; some provide services. Other people

provide both goods and services. For example, in the same garage 5

a man may buy a car or some service which helps him maintain his

car.

The work people do is called economic activity. All economic

activities taken together make up the economic system of a town, a

city, a country or the world. Such an economic system is the sum- 10

total of what people do and what they want. The work people do

either provides what they need or provides the money with which they

can buy essential commodities. Of course, most people hope to have

enough money to buy commodities and services which are non-

essential but which provide some particular personal satisfaction, 15

such as toys for children, visits to the cinema and books.

The science of economics is based upon the facts of our everyday

lives. Economists study our everyday lives and the general life of

our communities in order to understand the whole economic system of

which we are part. They try to describe the facts of the economy in 20

which we live, and to explain how it works. The economist's methods

should of course be strictly objective and scientific.

We need food, clothes and shelter. We probably would not go to

work if we could satisfy these basic needs without working. But even

when we have satisfied such basic needs, we may still want other 25

things, such as the toys, visits to the cinema and books mentioned

above. Our lives might be more enjoyable if we had such things.

Human beings undoubtedly have a wide and very complex range

of wants. The science of economics is concerned with all our needs:

with the desire to have a radio as well as the basic necessity of 30

having enough food to eat.

So far we have suggested that economic systems are the same every-

where. This is not entirely true. Not all economic systems in the

world are the same. The economic system of the USA differs greatly

from the system in Cuba. The American system is based on private 35

enterprise and is essentially capitalistic, while the Cuban system

is communistic and based on the principles of Karl Mark, the 19th

century political economist. The economic systems of these two

nations contrast very strongly.

Britain is similar to the USA. It has an economic system based 40

on private enterprise and private supplies of capital. An important

form of capital is surplus income available for investment in new

business activities. Property in both the US and Britain can be and

is owned by individual citizens and these citizens exercise conside-

rable economic freedom of choice. They can choose what they want to do 45

and how they want to earn their living, but are not of course entire-

ly free to do as they wish. They must obey the law. Otherwise, however,

they can use their time, money and energy as they wish. If a person

can do this, then economists say that he is economically free. In all

communities, of course, limits are imposed upon personal freedom, 50

limits which are sometimes very complex.

Complete economic freedom of action can create great difficulties,

because the freedoms exercised by various individuals inevitably con-

flict. If citizens were completely free, some landowners might build

factories in unsuitable places, while some factory owners might make 55

their employees work too long each day. If they were completely free

workers might stop working when they got their first pay, and come

back only when they needed more money. Such economic anarchy

could create instability in the entire economy of a country.

Laws which relate to economic conditions are sometimes con- 60

cerned with contracts between employers and employees. Sometimes

they are concerned with workers' health, wages and pensions, and so-

metimes with the location of places of work. Sometimes they protect

the interests principally of the workers, while at others they may

be beneficial to the employers. The government policy towards both 65

employees and employers will depend very much upon the political

and economic ideology which the government adopts, and may be

biased towards employers and capital on the one hand, or workers

and the problems of labour on the other.

In states which have a communistic system, private property and 70

private enterprise are reduced to a minimum. They exist, but are

limited to a small area of the economy. Karl Marx conceived of a

world in which there would be no private property whatsoever.

Communism in theory states that all property should belong to the

State. In practice, however, the citizens of states like Cuba are 75

permitted to have personal effects.

The important thing about the communist system is central plan-

ning. The State organizes the whole economic effort of the nation.

A central authority with complete power decides what goods and

services will be produced. The authority decides what quantities of 80

goods will be produced, and also controls their quality, and decides

where they will go and what prices will be charged for them. Addi-

tionally, the State provides all (or most of) the services which the

citizens require. It is responsible for the economy and is therefore

concerned with methods of production as well as quality and quantity. 85

The national economy must be planned ahead over a number of

years.

Marxist economies are planned. The system is related to the needs

of the State as a whole, not the needs of the private person. The

emphasis is collective and not individual, so that the individual is 90

subordinated to the needs of the collective State.

The central authority in communist countries performs the func-

tion of the price system in capitalistic economies. Under capitalism

the prices of goods and services are related to supply and demand.

The system operates freely, dependent upon the quantities available 95

and what people want. Therefore we say that in private enterprise

systems the production of goods tends to follow price movements, to

rise when prices rise and fall when prices fall. This rise and fall

is not however normal in communist countries. The control exercised

by the State prevents any such fluctuation of prices. Government 100

planners under communism therefore know what goods are available

and what prices will be charged, but economists in non-communist

systems do not always know this.

No state today is completely communistic or completely capital- 105

istic. The various national economic systems tend towards one type

or the other, but many are difficult to classify. It has been found

necessary in many countries to exercise some degree of control over

national economic conditions, and under-developed nations parti-

cuiarly are interested in longterm plans. Countries like India have

had a number of plans guided by the government. India makes a 110

clear distinction between the public sector and the private sector

of its economy and so has a system called a mixed economy.

Britain today has a mixed economy. In the public sector are the

nationalized industries like coal and steel, British Rail and BOAC.

In the private sector are the majority of the nation's industries, 115

from giants like ICI and BP down to small family businesses. In 1962

the British government set up an official planning body known as the

National Economic Development Council, a body which would help

plan national production and set up production targets. The members

of the NEDC are representatives of both the employers' federations 120

and the TUC, together with members of the government, eminent

industrialists and leading economists.

It is however a very difficult matter to plan ahead in a mixed

economy. It is not possible to plan ahead with any certainty even in

a rigidly controlled economy, because natural disasters, political 125

changes and other factors can affect the general plan in unexpected

ways.

 

Exercise 1. Answer these questions. They relate to lines 92-103 of the text.

 

a. What performs the function of the capitalistic price system in communist countries?

b. What are prices in a capitalistic system related to?

c. What does the price system depend upon?

d. In a capitalistic system, what does production follow?

e. When does production fall?

f. In a communistic system, what does the control exercised by the State prevent from happening?

g. What do economists in communist countries usually know?

 

 

Exercise 2. Below is a list of pronouns occurring in the text. Say what each pronoun refers to.

 

EXAMPLE: they (line11)

ANSWER: 'they' refers to 'people' in line 11.

 

a it (line 21) b It (40) c They (45)

d he (49) e they (56) f they (62) g its (112)

 

 

Exercise 3. Below are 45 words taken from earlier units. Make each word negative by adding a suitable prefix: non-, un- or in- (or il-, im-, ir- as required.

 

economic available organic frequent practical

active probable sufficient responsible rational

distinct regular conditional necessary solvent

legal mobile complete satisfactory suitable

systematic productive desirable enjoyable industrial

public legible essential expert proper

definite important usual relevant communist

dependent logical stable personal scientific

secure adequate equal political conclusive

 

 

Exercise 4. Combine these pairs of sentences by means of 'if', in order to make new conditional sentences. It may be necessary to change some words in some of the sentences in order to make complete sense.

 

a. We have a car. / We can be much more mobile.

b. You want to get a new house. / You must earn a lot of money.

c. You will complete the work more rapidly. / You all work together on it.

d. We buy these goods this week. / We may be able to sell them next week, and make some extra money.

e. You buy your essential commodities from us. / Perhaps we shall be able to sell them to you more cheaply than other shops.

f. There is no system of control. / Certain people may decide to build factories in unsuitable places and employ workers for long hours.

g. They may increase their output. / Their employers provide better working conditions.

h. We may provide some help now. / You undertake to help us later.
