The mixed economy types are economy types that have strong elements from both the market economies, and the planned economies. Usually, this type of economy has developed from planned economy type, but because of adaptations in order for the economy to progress and develop, lot of the elements of the market economy has been implemented as well. This results in an economy where the government is still holding onto the most important natural resources in order to provide economic security, while the private sector is also thriving and develops very well without being limited by the government, but instead having it as an economic partner. A perfect example of this is China.
