In both capitalist and mixed economies,the incomes and wealth levels of households

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In both capitalist and mixed economies, households' incomes and wealth levels depend on the degree to which they own marketable resources (such as property, stocks, and skills) and on the prices of those resources. This means that the distribution of income and wealth is influenced by the market forces of supply and demand, and is therefore not always fair or equal. The government may play a role in regulating the market, but ultimately it is the market that determines the distribution of resources among households. Command economies, on the other hand, typically have less income inequality since the government controls the allocation of resources and sets wage and price levels.
