A command economy is where the govt. Allocates resources according to a planning process.
The advantages are : 1. The govt. Will ensure a more equal distribution of income and wealth
2. Essential goods/services will be provided to the community. For e.g
education.
3. The govt. Can determine which goods are produced. It has the power
of decision making.
4. It provides a minimum standard of living for all citizens.
The disadavantages are : 1. There is little consumer choice. Since everything is allocated according to a planning process, consumers will have little say in what is provided directly by the state.
2. Little variety of goods and services
3. Loss of individual freedom
4. Leads to allocative and productive inefficiency due to a lack of competition and no profit motive.
5. Subsidies on essential goods and services quickly lead to shortages. Therefore queuing is common in command economies.
