History

Answer:

A command economy is a system where the government, rather than the free market, determines what goods should be produced, how much should be produced, and the price at which the goods are offered for sale. It also determines investments and incomes. The command economy is a key feature of any communist society. Cuba, North Korea, and the former Soviet Union are examples of countries that have command economies, while China maintained a command economy for decades before transitioning to a mixed economy that features both communistic and capitalistic elements.

Explanation:

A command economy is when government central planners own or control the means of production, and determine the distribution of output.

Command economies suffer from problems with poor incentives for planners, managers, and workers in state-owned enterprises.

Central planners in a command economy are unable to rationally determine the methods, quantities, proportions, location, and timing of economic activity across an economy without private property or the operation of supply and demand.

Proponents of command economies argue that they are better for achieving fair distribution and social welfare over private profit.

 <span>Agriculture allows a civilization or group of people to remain in one place. If you are primarily a hunter-gathering people, then you must relocate and move as the herds and food move. If they are unable to move or find new hunting ground, the people will starve. 

Agriculture may, if the ground is fertile, allow a people to grow larger quantities of food than what is naturally available in the wild. Having more food allows the population to grow and decreases instances of disease and sickness. 

A drawback to agriculture is that meat provides more protein and calories than can be found in vegetables. 

Another drawback to agriculture is that constant farming can destroy the fertility of the land--depleting it of its nutrients.</span>
