EXPLANATION:  

A command economy is a market system where the authority (government) decides what goods and stuff should be produced and sold, how much the goods should be produced, and how much the price of the goods should be offered and sold. The government also determines the incomes and investments. In short, a command economy is not a free market system because the government has the whole control. The examples of command economy are the former Soviet Union, North Korea, and Cuba. China was a command economy before it changed into a mixed economy with both capitalistic and communistic elements.  

Key concepts of a command economy are:

•Government central planners are the one who controls and owns the means of production and the distribution of the output.

•Command economy suffers from problems such as poor incentives for managers, planners, and workers.

•Command economy’s central planners cannot determine the quantities, methods, locations, proportions, and timing of the economic activity without private property and the operation of supply and demand.  

•Command economy is better for reaching fair distribution and social welfare over private profit.
