World Economic Systems Questions
A centrally planned socialist economy is an economic system in which the government or a central authority controls and plans all aspects of production, distribution, and consumption. In this system, the government owns and operates most industries and resources, and decisions regarding production levels, prices, and allocation of resources are made by the central planning authority. The goal of a centrally planned socialist economy is to achieve economic equality and social welfare by eliminating private ownership and promoting collective ownership and control.
