The mixed economy

A mixed economy is a type of society that synthesizes elements of a market and command economy, in which the market mechanism is complemented by vigorous activity of the state. A mixed economy involves the use of the regulatory role of the state and the economic freedom of producers. Entrepreneurs and workers move from industry to industry by their own decision, and not by government directives.
 The state implements antitrust, social, fiscal (tax) and other types of economic policy, which to one degree or another contributes to the economic growth of the country and increase the living standards of the population. The modern world is characterized by a wide variety of mixed models. For example, the Swedish system is known in which social policy is the core.


The Japanese economic model is characterized by developed indicative (recommendatory) planning and coordination of government and private sector activities. In the American economy, the state plays an important role in approving the rules of economic activity, regulating business, and developing education and science. But most decisions are made based on the market situation and pricing on it. The Swedish system is characterized by vigorous participation of the state in ensuring economic stability and redistribution of income.


The core of this system is the social policy of the state, backed by a high level of taxation. Here, differences in incomes are relatively small with an overall high level of social security. The Japanese model of the economy is characterized by developed planning and coordination of government and private sector activities.



The plans are state programs (of a recommendatory nature) that orient individual parts of the economy toward the fulfillment of national tasks. In the American economy, the state plays an important role in approving the rules of the economic game, developing education, and regulating business.
