Economic System
An economic system is the framework for organizing the production and distribution of goods and services in an economy. It is defined by its core institutions—the laws and social customs governing economic activity. While institutions like private property, markets, and firms distinguish specific systems like capitalism, other institutions such as families and governments are essential components in the functioning of every economy. Examples of economic systems include capitalism, feudalism, and central economic planning.

A new food delivery service begins operating in a town. Initially, the relationship between restaurants, drivers, and customers is governed by the service's user-rating system and unwritten expectations about tipping and delivery times.

How does this situation illustrate the concept of economic institutions?
