Explanation:
The majority of private ownership and limited government ownership of businesses in the economies is a characteristic of mixed economy.
Mixed economies typically maintain private ownership and control of most of the means of production, but often under government regulation.Most of the democratic economies of the world follow this model of economy as it is beneficial for the democracy. The United States, France and Germany all were once fully capitalist have now turned towards mixed economy.
Europe bases its economy on different economic activities. Though some of these activities are similar throughout the continent, Western Europe and Eastern Europe tend to have different focus areas. Western Europe bases much of its economic activities on service industries such as banking, trade, finance, and technology. Western Europe also manufactures products such as pharmaceuticals, automobiles, and aerospace crafts and technologies. Eastern Europe tends to focus on consumer goods and food processing. Agriculture and industry are more widespread in Eastern Europe than in Western Europe. Eastern Europe is working to shift its economy from a command economy to a mixed market, and it is beginning to add more and more service industries throughout the region.
