Why port and starboard instead of left and right?

Steorbord, lit. "side on which a vessel was steered," from steor- "rudder, steering paddle" + bord "ship's side." Cf. O.N. stjornborði, Low Ger. stürbord, Ger. Steuerbord. Early Germanic peoples' boats were propelled and steered by a paddle on the right side. Fr. tribord (O.Fr. estribord), It. stribordo are Gmc. loan-words.  

<span>port </span>

<span>Meaning "left side of a ship" is attested from 1543, from notion of "the side facing the harbor" (when a ship is docked). It replaced larboard in common usage to avoid confusion with starboard (q.v.); officially so by Admiralty order of 1844 and U.S. Navy Department notice of 1846. Fig. sense "place of refuge" is attested from 1426; phrase any port in a storm first recorded 1749. </span>

How does a command economic system answer the three economic questions?
kramer

Answer:

An economic system is any system of allocating scarce resources. Economic systems answer three basic questions: what will be produced, how will it be produced, and how will the output society produces be distributed?

There are two extremes of how these questions get answered. In command economies, decisions about both allocation of resources and allocation of production and consumption are decided by the government. In market economies, there is private ownership of resources—established though property rights—and the factors of production and consumption are all coordinated through markets. In a market system, resources are allocated to their most productive use through prices that are determined in markets. These prices act as a signal for buyers and sellers. Most economies are mixed economies that lie between these two extremes.

In either system, a rational agent would allocate resources and production using marginal analysis. In command economies, this is more difficult to do because without markets, prices fail at being an effective signal.
