In principle the economic characteristics of a free market economy should completely contrast with that of a planned economy as they are on polar sides of the spectrum. This is mostly true, however there are a few characteristics that slightly overlap. To begin with the ownership of the two economies is extremely diverse. In the free market nearly all of the factors of production are owned privately and the market forces are allowed to guide the allocation of resources with in a society. This heavily
A common unifying characteristic that all the Latin American revolutions resemble is the objective of independence. Whether it is from domination from Spain & Portugal or Britain, the reoccurring theme is the fight for independence. Two profound figures are Jose De San Martin and Simon Bolivar.

globalization is ubiquitous; and it is happening at a fast pace. While some might say that globalization is bad for the American economy, others have a different perspective. For businesses and societies alike, globalization is a double edged sword; there are benefits and downsides for both the United States and host countries.

movement of Goods There are no import duties on goods of CARICOM origin. Tariffs and quantitative restrictions in all Member States are removed. The treatment of intra-regional imports will be different from those coming from the rest of the world.

Most importantly, he made all these improvements without raising taxes. Isn’t this all we have been dreaming about? Raising the economy! He did it! Under his governing, Florida’s economy had increased by almost 8 times! So I have a reason to believe his plans will help the American economy to grow little by little

This happens due to considerable differences in manufacturing costs. It is, for example, a common practice of offshoring in the Asian countries, like Vietnam or Taiwan. This assumption is supported by the Heckscher-Ohlin model, which states that underdeveloped countries have the comparative advantage in producing labor-abundant goods. For instance
