B) regulated markets
C) democratic reforms
D) planned economies

Answer 1

Answer:

C) democratic reforms

Explanation:

One of the things I remember when I was a little kid was watching action movies with my father and many of them had a common hero, an American soldier or spy (and James Bond even though he is British), and a common enemy, the Soviet Union or some other communist country.

That was very in the late 80s and early 90s, and probably much earlier. The world was divided into two sides, the side that favored liberty and freedom (the US) and the communist evil nations.

In economic terms, communism and command economies meant that the government controlled most of a country's resources. This had a negative effect in that only politicians and their allies lived well and were rich, while the rest of the population was poor.

But then president Reagan and premier Gorbachev got together and decided that it was time for all the nonsense to stop, and the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union split up and luckily for all (except James Bond and other heroes), communism ended.

The fall of communist led to democratic and capitalistic reforms.
