Description:

A comparative study of capitalist and socialist economic systems. Theories of the evolution of economic systems are presented and applied to analyze the institutional characteristics of alternative economic systems. The organization of economic activities in real-world economies is compared. The rise in multilateral economic cooperation after World War II is examined by analyzing potential sources of inefficient interaction that can occur between trading-partner countries and demonstrating how specific institutions, such as those arising from the Bretton-Woods Agreements, can prevent certain inefficiencies from arising.
