In a mixed / hybrid economic system, both state and private companies operate in the production and sale of goods and services. State action occurs through state-owned companies in strategic sectors, such as oil production, while private production occurs in the most diverse types of markets. It is noteworthy that in a mixed or hybrid economy, the state also acts as a regulator of productive activity in the private sphere, in order to ensure that the economic environment is suitable for transactions. Most capitalist economies are considered hybrid economies, including the US.
The Drought relief Service´s cattle slaughter program helped farmers struggling to sell livestock and helped feed many Americans. This was a government aid to the farmers since they couldn’t afford to keep their cattle and they got paid a lot more than they could´ve ever gotten from any market. This helped the cattle too since the government helped them to get better due to the drought.
