Today the world largely operates under a global economic system based on the capitalist mode of production.

Capitalism Economy System:

An economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market. For Example:

Capitalism is at once far too rational, trusting in nothing that it cannot weigh and measure, and far too little as well, accumulating wealth as an end in itself.

Features of capitalism Economy System:

(a) There is a market where there are goods/services produced for exchange.
(b) Productive wealth is held mainly in private hands .

(c) Economic life is organized according to market principles of demand and supply.

(d) Material self-interest and profit maximization provide the motivation for hard work.
Socialism Economy System:

Economic system in which the means of production are commonly owned and controlled cooperatively; or a political philosophy advocating such a system, As a form of social organization, socialism is based on co-operative social relations and self-management; relatively equal power-relations and the reduction or elimination of hierarchy in the management of economic and political affairs. As an economic-system, socialism is structured upon production for use – the direct allocation of resources toward useful production. In some cases, financial calculation is replaced with calculation-in-nature – such as energy accounting or physical quantities. The output generated – goods and services for consumption – is distributed through markets.
Features of socialism Economy System :
(a) Command Economy:

Central Planning and strict Bureaucracy is the main feature of Socialistic Economy. It directs all Political and Social Activities.

(b) Limited Role of Market:

Generally the Market is determined by Demand and Supply and here as the Government decides the production allocation of resources it is having minimum role to play.

No private ownership of property or factors of production. The government is the owner of all properties. Only a little Private property is allowed and no property rights, hereditary rights.
(c) Central Planning:

The main feature of Socialism is central planning which decides the basic problems like 1) what to produce? 2) How to produce? 3) For whom to produce? The Central
Planning committee sets the goals for the economy and also he time frame within
these goals are to be realized.

(d) Social Security and welfare:

In a Socialistic Economy the government decides all economic decisions and sets the goal of the economic welfare and security of weaker sections of society and aged people.

Mixed Economy system:

Economy in which both market forces and government intervention and direction are used to determine resource allocation and prices and Mixed economy is a system where the government has some control over the production of goods and services in the economy. An economic system is that includes a mixture of capitalism and socialism. This type of economic system includes a combination of private economic freedom and centralized economic planning and government regulation. An example of a mixed economy country is Canada. In Canada the government places a priority on all parts of economy, such as Growth, Efficiency, Security, Stability, Equality, and Freedom.

Features of Mixed Economy System:

(e) The government influence in determining the goods to be produced.

Islamic Economy system:

Islam views life as a compact whole and does not divide it into many separate and conflicting parts. The economic aspect is one of the most important parts of our life, while not being the whole of it. The Islamic system is balanced and places everything in its right place. Islam has given detailed regulations for the conduct of our economic life which concerns mainly the earning and use of wealth.

Man needs bread to live but he does not live for bread alone. This means that earning and spending money is essential for our living, but we do not live only for this. We have a greater purpose in life.

Everything in Islam is for the benefit and welfare of mankind. The economic principle of Islam aim at establishing a just society wherein everyone will behave responsibly and honestly and not as ‘cunning foxes’ fighting for as big a share of something as possible without regard for honesty, truth, decency, trust and responsibility.

Features of Islamic Economy System:

* Concept of "HALAL" and "HARAM" for earning or in production and consumption of wealth.
* A property cannot be used against public interest.
* Show much as you have something.
* Real/money Capital cannot be used for gain.
* Payment of Zakat is compulsory.

b) Consumption of Wealth:
In Islamic System uses of luxuries are not allowed because it against the concept of "TAQWA" should have distinguished between "HALAL" and "HARAM"."BUKHAL" and "ISRAF" are to be avoided.
c) Production of Wealth:

Price mechanism plays a key role in carrying out the production process in an Islamic Society. As Price system results in the expectations of workers and consumers the Govt. Interferences with the price mechanism to over come the problem. These things are not allowed in Islamic System.

* Production of drugs, gambling, lotery, music, dance etc.

* Lending and borrowing on interest

* Black marketing, Smuggling etc.

d) Distribution of Wealth:

Islamic Economics System favour fair (not equal) distribution of wealth in the sence that it should not be confined to any particular section of the society. For fair distribution of wealth Islam gives following steps

Conclusion:

Economic work as a monitor of a countries financial condition. it plays a very perfect play to make a success of any country. The economic systems are the element of economic task circle. Capitalism is a major element with a heavy man power and capital goods. Socialism, mixed, and Islamic economic system are also working together to develop the production of goods and distribution of goods as market demand. But today the world largely operates under a global economic system based on the capitalist system on mode production.

Economic system is the perfect system to improve a countries financial condition. Capitalism is the good one which is followed by most developing countries. But I like most the mixed economic system. And why i like this system? in my thinking private sector is more faster then government sector and facilities are available in private sector. Government always had done the legal task so this economic system is based on both sectors. So I like it.
