Money is used for buying and selling goods. Modern world has a money
economy, where paper notes and coins are used. But this has not always been true. In
primitive times other systems of money were used, for example barter. Barter was a
system of direct exchange of goods. Barter was not a good system because people’s
needs were not the same. They needed a more practical system of exchange. For it
people used salt, tobacco, teeth; later metals were used as money in the form of coins.
Coins are used now too.

There are 3 types of economies: a command (planned) economy, a market
economy and a mixed one. A mixed economy is a combination of market and
planned economies. In mixed economies some resources are controlled by the
government and other resources are used by demands of consumers. Technically, all
economies of the world are mixed. Practically, in all economies the balance between
market elements and planned elements is always changing. Some countries are nearer
to command economies but others are nearer to free market. For example, Hong
Kong has some state–controlled industry, Cuba has privately-owned and state -
controlled firms.
So, in a mixed economy the government and private sectors interact in solving
economic problems. State allocates money for education, science and health, while
private firms produce cars, furniture, electrical items and other goods.

The American economy is described as a free enterprise system that allows
private business the freedom to operate for profit with minimum government
regulations and help.
The theoretical foundation of the American economic system was provided by
Adam Smith, the eighteenth-century Scottish philosopher, whose economic ideas had
a strong influence on the development of capitalism. According to Smith, the result is
good for all when any individual is allowed to gain profit freely. He must be
motivated by self - interest. The more people manufacture and trade, the greater is the
competition.

physics, in chemistry, in medicine and in peace. Economics was added in 1968 just
sixty-seven years after the first prize giving ceremony.
Nobel’s original nine million were invested and the interest on this sum is used

sets, washing-machines ,refrigerators, motor-cars and furniture.

World petroleum production and petroleum use differ very much in different
regions. Some use more than they produce, while others produce more than they use.
Certain regions have large petroleum production but lack the industry and
transportation to utilize it. They are able to make a profit by selling to regions that
need it.
For example, Australia and Asia consume about fifty per cent more than they
produce. Europe consumes about seventy-five per cent more than it produces. It is
one of the largest producers but also is the largest consumer of all the regions. The
US and Canada together produce about three-fifth of what they consume, while, at
the same time they produce more than other regions.

In 1993 the British government published a book full of figures and diagrams.
These show how the people of Britain have spent their incomes in the last decades.
These charts make us possible for us to see on which goods and services more
money was spent and on which less was spent.
As we should expect, the amount spent on food is much greater than the amount
spent on clothing. We see that the amounts spent on alcoholic drinks and on tobacco
are much greater than those spent on books, newspapers and magazines. Out of every
twenty shillings, ten went on personal expenditure or food, clothing, rent, household
goods, etc. The government took two shillings in direct taxation. Savings were five
and the rest went for national insurance.
