What is the economic system in the United States?
AA market economy
BA command economy
CA planned economy
DA barter economy
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A market economy
1. An economic system decides how goods and work are bought and sold.
2. The United States has a market economy, also called a capitalist economy.
3. In a command economy the government decides what gets produced, which is not how the United States works.
4. A barter economy trades goods for goods without money, so it does not describe the country either.
