Command system
A command economy is an economy controlled almost entirely by the Government. Countries that adopt the command economy system are called communists, where no matter how hard you work you will earn the same amount as the person beside you. The goods are all produced with very little lead way for entrepreneurs, because they do not encourage private enterprise, and in places like North Korea there is no private enterprise. In Cuba there has been some open doors for private enterprise, but even then there is only the local stores they can buy from, giving their businesses no variation in stores. The goods in a Command economy are made for everyone using a system called the ration system where everyone gets a specific amount of food that is supposed to last them a month, but in places like Cuba since the population keeps increasing the rations are only lasting two weeks! Which encouraged them to allow some private enterprise. An advantage of this system is that there is a much smaller gap between everyone, meaning that the rich and the poor earn a similar amount. A disadvantage of this system however is that not many people are encouraged to get better jobs, like being a doctor because they earn the same amount as the man working at Coles. Life in communist countries, like North Korea, is often poorer quality of life compared to free market economies; because of the extreme amount of control from the government they are forced to practically worship the government, for they control the country. Cuba is an example of a command economy that has opened their doors to a little bit of private enterprise http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2013/s3935264.htm
