Very good class. I showed you these economic

activities because today, we are going to study the

These economic activities form the foundation of

each economic system that we are going to study

Lesson Proper

First, let us define economic systems. Can you

please read what the economic system is?

Economic systems refer to the organized manner

by which a society allocates scarce resources to
meet its people’s economic wants. Water resources, land
(agricultural) resources,

scarce resources in the Philippines?

Good job. All your provided answers are correct.

Now let us proceed to the first ideological bases of
economic systems. Students will read the
definition on the power
Capitalism point.

Capitalism?

economy: freedom of enterprise and choice, private
ownership of resources, limited government

Who among you have heard of Laissez Faire?
This term simply means the government does not
interfere in the market.

In capitalism, prices and wages are determined by

competition and supply and demand—meaning the
more people want something, the more it might
cost. The government usually has a limited role,
allowing businesses and individuals to make most
economic decisions. Ma’am, USA. Canada,
Australia, UK, Japan

Great answer. Now let us proceed to the next

system.

Socialism

definition on the power
point.
Kindly read what socialism is.

Socialism advocates for state ownership of

resources and means of production but favors a
democratic means of instituting economic reforms.

Instead of focusing on profit for individuals,

socialism aims to make sure that everyone has
what they need, like healthcare, education, and
housing. The idea is to share resources and wealth

communism.

What comes into your mind when you hear the

Students will read the
word Communism?
definition on the power
point.
Yes, that is correct. Communism is the total
opposite of capitalism. Can you read for me the
definition of communism?

Communism is a system where everyone shares

everything equally. The government or community
owns things like land, factories, and businesses
instead of private people. The idea is that no one is
rich or poor because we all share resources. People
work as much as they can and get what they need.
There is no private property, and the government China, Cuba, Vietnam,
controls making and giving out resources to make North Korea, and Laos.
everything equal for everyone.
Very good. Can you provide me with countries that
adopted communism?

Fascism Students will read the

definition on the board.
Great. Now let us proceed to the last one which is
Fascism.

Can you please read what fascism is?

Fascism favors an authoritarian type of government

that knows how to work with and exploit the
market.

It emphasizes being very loyal to the nation, and

people are expected to obey the government Germany, Spain, Portugal
without question. The government controls
everything. In fascism, the government often limits No, Ma’am.
freedom of speech and punishes those who
disagree. Capitalism ma’am.

Okay, thank you. Do you have questions so far?

Okay. Let’s think about the Philippines. Which Students’ answers may
economic system does it have? vary.

How about others? Do you have other ideas?

No, ma’am.
Very good. The Philippines is a mix of capitalism
and socialism. Can you give me a scenario where
this is possible?

Perfect! Now do you have questions?

Perfect. Now to test your knowledge about the

different economic systems, we will do an activity.
