MIXED ECONOMY is an economy that includes a variety of private and public control, reflecting characteristics of both capitalism and socialism. All so called capitalist countries are in fact mixed economies. The USA is a good example of this since it has always been considered capitalist but in fact has been a mixed economy since at least Frederick Roosevelts time. Why?... Well it has had big govt. public ownership of education, security, public funding of the private sector, etc. China is another good example of mixed economy as it is often considered either communist or capitalist. But like USA, China is also a mixed economy.
It is also necessary to know that capitalism and socialism have collapsed and failed in the first and second worlds and only exist in third world countries.
