Command System: The individual has little influence over how the economic
questions are answered in a pure command system. The government controls the
factors of production and makes all decisions. This could be one person, a small
group, or central planners who decide what resources to use at each step of
production and the distribution of goods and services. The government even
decides the role everyone will play. It guides people into certain jobs. Examples:
North Korea, Cuba
