Needs are something that is nesscary for your survival. Like food or water. Wants are somethign you don't really need but would like to have, Like a phone
I want to get a new dress and a bracelet
I'm going to the store and I need to get some water and bread
Wants and needs
The country I'm visting right now has a market system, the resturant I'm in is influenced a lot by supply and demand and the goverment is not really involved
The country I'm from has a mixed market system. Which is kinda like the market system but has more government control
Economic systems
There are four different economic systems
The Demand is really high and the Supply doesn't match that, it's pretty low
Wow I really want to get this new iphone but so many other people are buying it so it's sold out!
Now the demand isn't as high and the supply matches it
Supply and Demand
It's a couple months later now and theres a lot less people wanting to buy the new phone, so I can buy one now because it's in stock again
This is an example of being in the peak of a business cycle
The economy is doing great right now, I've been making a lot of money, lots of people have jobs and new and existing business are doing great
Business cycles
This is an example of being in the depression business cycle
The economy is not doing too great anymore, I haven't been making as much money, lots of people have been losing their jobs and many business haven't been doing as good lately
