1984 by George Orwell! :D

The opening is unclear + ambiguous but some say it opens up like this for one of three reasons:

1.) Military time

2.) Because clocks don't strike 13, it shows that there is something wrong with the clock and it is untrustworthy. Just as in the story, 2 + 2 = 5. The government tells lies and has lost respect for the truth.

3.) Orwell is referencing Thomas Hardy from his novel <span>Far From the Madding Crowd,

"</span><span>This supreme instance of Troy's goodness fell upon Gabriel ears like the thirteenth stroke of crazy clock. It was not only received with utter incredulity as regarded itself, but threw a doubt on all the assurances that had preceded it."</span>

How do consumers form competition making businesses
Zinaida [17]

Hello!

Consumers can impact competition between businesses based on what they consume. Different businesses who produce the same product often produce them differently and produce a different quality of the item.

Consumers impact competition based on which company they purchase their products from. By purchasing products, consumers are showing the companies what kind of a product they want, which results in companies competing to develop the best version of the product.

I hope this helps you! Have a lovely day!

Command economy advantages include low levels of inequality and unemployment and the common good replacing profit as the primary incentive of production. Command economy disadvantages include lack of competition and lack of efficiency

While there are several advantages to a traditional economy, these economies are not without their disadvantages. Because these economies rely on hunting, fishing, gathering, and the land in the form of farming, when the weather changes, the economy becomes jeopardized

A mixed economic system is a system that combines aspects of both capitalism and socialism. A mixed economic system protects private property and allows a level of economic freedom in the use of capital, but also allows for governments to interfere in economic activities in order to achieve social aims. According to neoclassical theory, mixed economies are less efficient than pure free markets, but proponents of government interventions argue that the base conditions such as equal information and rational market participants cannot be achieved in practical application.
