Who runs a command economic system?

A command economic system is typically run by a central authority, such as the government or a central planning agency. In this system, the government makes all decisions regarding the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, often with the aim of achieving specific social or economic goals. Examples of countries that have historically operated under command economies include the former Soviet Union and North Korea. The system contrasts with market economies, where decisions are driven by supply and demand.

Examples of command economies include North Korea and the former Soviet Union.
