Explain why a market or mixed economy is the best match for the United States.

Question

anonymous · Answer

The Federal/State and local governments own various sectors (Post office, Amtrak, several utilities) and are heavily involved in national R&D, regulation of enterprises and the market and are chiefly responsible for investment in infrastructure. Large national corporations (Boeing, Semtech etc.) that are considered vital assets receive subsidies and other benefits and the very important defence sector is co-managed/funded by the Federal government (but is privately owned)
