Lesson 8
Big Ideas of Lesson 8, Unit 1
1. Economic systems are different ways that people use resources to make and
exchange goods and services.
2. There are four basic economic systems existing throughout the world.
3. The four economic systems used in the world are traditional, command,
market, and mixed.
4. Geographers look at figures such as literacy rate, life expectancy, and Gross
Domestic Product to measure economic development.
5. Some countries have a wide mix of economic activities, while others may have
only one or two main economic activities.
6. Geographers group the countries of the world into groups based on their level
of economic development.
7. Countries are divided into 2 categories based on economic development:
developing or developed nations.

73. economic
systems
74. traditional
economy
different ways that
people use resources to make and
exchange goods and services
goods and services are traded, but
money is rarely exchanged
Example: Bartering is the oldest economic
system in the world.
Example: A traditional economy is more
likely to be in a remote community in which
people grow their own food and make their
own goods.

75. barter
76. market economy
what is produced and
distributed is based on
what consumers are willing to buy
and the price they will pay
to trade
Example: He bartered and traded a pencil
for a ruler in the class barter game.
Example: In a market economy, the price
people are willing to sell goods for depends
on the price people are willing to pay.
(SS060108)
(SS060108)
77. command
economy
78. mixed
economy
a central authority
plans and controls what is
produced and distributed
a combination of command and
market economies
Example: In a command economy prices
are set by the central authority.
(SS060108)
Example: In countries with mixed
economies, the government may own some
industries, while others belong to private
owners.

of a country
Example: In wealthy countries the Per
Capita Income is high.
Example: The higher the life expectancy,
the better economic shape a country is in.
(SS060108)

mortality
(SS060108)
84. literacy
the number of deaths of infants,
