V. Прочитайте текст и письменно переведите 2-й абзац. The outline of the american economy.

The American economy is a dynamic, free-market system that is constantly evolving out the-choices; and decisions made by millions of citizens who play multiple roles as consumers, producers, investors and voters. The United States is generally described as a mixed economy which is to say that even though the great majority of productive resources are privately owned, the Federal Government does play an important part in the market-place.

Although the American economy has transformed itself over the years certain issues have persisted since the early days of the republic. One is the continuing debate over the proper role for government is what a market-place economy is basically. An economy based on free-enterprise is generally characterized by private ownership and initiative, with a relative absence of government involvement. However, government intervention has been found necessary from time to time to ensure that economic opportunities are fair and accessible to me people, to prevent flagrant abuses, to dampen inflation and to stimulate growth.

Another recurrent theme has been the transformation of the U.S. economy by emerging technologies. Once a nation of farmers, the United States was changed dramatically by successful adaptation of the machinery and production processes of the Industrial Revolution and then transformed again by what amounts to a "second" Industrial Revolution. ;

A third theme has been the continuous debate over international trade policy and thus over the degree of integration of the United Stares into the world economy.

Each of these themes underscores certain fundamental characteristics of the American economy. The economy is changing continuously, as citizens freely express their economic preferences directly in the market-place and indirectly in the voting booth.
