Planned Economy
A planned economy, also known as a command economy, is an economic system where the government or a central authority makes all major decisions regarding the production and distribution of goods and services. Key features include state ownership of capital goods (the means of production), the absence of private firms and markets in primary decision-making, and the use of a comprehensive central plan to allocate resources and set production targets. This system contrasts with a market economy, where such decisions are decentralized and driven by price signals from supply and demand.
