b) Basic Ingredients of English-Speaking Countries Economies

c) Production Possibilities Curve

d) Important Function of Interest Rates

Great Britain, the United States of America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are referred to as English-speaking countries. Availability of market economy based on free enterprise, generally characterized by private ownership and initiative, with a relative absence of government involvement is characteristic for them. However, government intervention has been found necessary from time to time to ensure that economic opportunities are fair and accessible to the people, to dampen inflation and to stimulate growth. Such economies are generally described as mixed, because even though the majority of productive resources are privately owned, the federal government plays an important role in the marketplace.

Every economic system tries to anticipate and then meet human needs and wants through the production and distribution of goods and services. The economic system is the mechanism that brings together natural resources, the labor supply, technology, and the necessary entrepreneurial and managerial talents. The first ingredient of an economic system is the natural resources for the production of goods. In general, these countries are rich in mineral resources and fertile farm soil. Second, the amount of available labor determines the health of the economy. Generally, all these countries have been fortunate in having enough the labor necessary for the expanding economies.

The existence of abundant natural resources and a skillful and willing labor force accounts for a part of an economic system structure. The resources must be directed into the areas where they will be most productive. In the economies of main English-speaking countries, managers of enterprises responding to signals from market perform this function. The corporation as a voluntary association of owners known as stockholders has proved to be an effective device for accumulating funds for investment.

All free market economies run in a cycle of expansion and contraction. This rise and fall of the economies can be charged with certain regularity devoid of a matching precision. Forecasting just when they will enter a new phase, such as recession or growth, remains more art than science. Now the economies of English-speaking countries stand at different stages of the cycle. However, despite periodic recessions or depressions, they have continued to grow over time.
