Economic Systems

Economic Systems are various methods by which countries have structured their economies. The earliest economic systems were based on simple bartering, whereas modern economics has nuances between laissez-faire and free market on one edge of the spectrum and communism or centrally-planned economies on the other.

North Korea, by contrast, has much more state ownership.

Is it possible for a country to avoid economic interdependence?

Is it possible?
YES. The idea of maintaining complete self-sufficiency in goods and services within one country is called AUTARKY and is a policy that has been practiced by a number of countries historically.

Is it good policy?
NO. One of the few countries that practices autarky today is North Korea. North Korea is a perfect example of why attempting autarky in a modern economy is completely nonsensical. No country can provide all of the types of raw materials and foodstuffs necessary to sustain the levels of population and industrial production prevalent in any modern society. As a result of autarky, the country remains in grinding poverty.

Not sure what that means.

I think you are asking a different question than you phrased. Are you asking how the monetary system (e.g.., Federal Reserve, Treasury, interest rates, that sort of thing) is organized?

If you are truly asking how the free market economic system is organized, well the answer is that it isn't. It's the result of millions of people making billions of decisions that they consider to be in their best interest. These decisions and actions send "signals" to others. I'd be happy to go into this further if this is the question you are asking.

Did Marx believed his economic system would pay workers according to their needs?

Marx believed that capitalism would have already placed all workers in company owned towns (or something equivalent) that provided for all their needs, before the revolution. The workers "pay" would not be in money but in company "credit" at the company store, company hospital, etc. After the revolution this system could just be kept in place, with minor modification to even the distribution of wealth. The workers would be better off afterwards because the capitalist's that used to own the companies would have their "excess wealth" removed and divided among the workers.

Nothing like this ever happened.
