how does the government promote economic growth in capitalist countries and those transitioning to capitalism?

History

In capitalist countries (and those transitioning to capitalism), overt or direct government control of the economy is avoided. Instead, the government seeks to provide the infrastructure and security/stability needed in order for business interests to flourish and the economy to grow.

Direct government control of the economy was the pattern of "mercantilism," which was dominant prior to the rise of capitalism.  According to Adam Smith, one of the founding theorists of capitalism, mercantilism was bad because the government tried to regulate and control commerce too much. Smith, along with French economic theorists known "physiocrats" (wanting to let "nature rule"), advocated a "laissez-faire" approach to commerce and industry, letting businesses run themselves in competition in a free market.

However, for that free market to flourish, governments will do their part by providing infrastructure -- roads, ports, etc.  Governments also will ensure the stability and security needed for businesses to operate safely and consistently.  So governments will enact laws affirming rights and fairness in business contracts and enforce those laws, and also provide national security within their lands so that economic growth can flourish due to peaceful circumstances.  (Warfare causes great disruption to economies.)

Exodus 20:2-17 THE HOLY BIBLE

“You shall have no other gods before me."

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God and only worthy of worship, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments."

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, or your servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."

“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you."

“You shall not kill."

“You shall not steal."

“You shall not commit adultery."

“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."

“You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.”

Can someone please help! It’s due in 3 hours and I WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST!!!!
Oduvanchick [21]
I cannot do this entire thing for you, but I can help.

A cause is the thing that forces something else to happen. So, that could be anything. The effect is what comes after the event.

For example, the driver was texting while driving. That is the cause. He hit a girl. That is the event. He girl was injured. That is the effect.

Hope that helps!
