  9. 3) A command economy differs from the other economic systems in that it has much more control over how the economy flows, where the money goes, how much money is given to the people, what kinds of jobs there are, etc. And because it has so much control over the economy, this also gives the government (who runs the command economy) total dominance over the lives of the people.

    4) Market economies have a tendency to be more efficient than a command or tradition economy because in a market economy anything can happen, any kind of business can be created and any kind of rules can come with it. There's total freedom for market economies which can help the economy flourish with the creation business and by how much money is spent by the people (whereas a command economy tells people how to spend their money).

    6) Market economies are more innovative because with a market economy it's not the same old rules and regulations of what kind of business can be created, how much can be spent, etc. (like a command economy). In this kind of an economy any business can be created, any amount of money can be spent, the total freedom of the market making it much more advanced than other kinds of economies because new things can happen everyday.

    6. Market economies are more innovative because it's the only economy with full freedom. A market economy is not controlling and have one person controlling everything (what comes in, what goes out, what business to open, etc.) like a command economy.) Capital flows to where it will get the greatest return, expanding the total size of the economy to its maximum level.
    In a market economy, it is easier for someone with initiative to create a better life for themself and their family.
