1) The factors in Capitolism are Privatly owned and the factors in Socialism are publicaly owned money is invested by a private business in Capitolism and in Socialism it is funded by welfare.

2)A factory worker would most likely prefer Socialism but a factory owner would prefer Capitolism becuase the State protects the workers in Socialism but the owner would want to have control over his workers so he would like that the government can not interfer this would be the same for the shop owner. The unemployed Artisan would want Capitolism because the business compete for the consumers money and you progress at your own rate. but they would also like socialism becuase they would have an equal distrabution of goods and serices.

3) Socialism because the govenment protects the workers and the owners in a way. with the health care bill he is trying to protect the people who are in the lower classes.

1)Capitalism-is an economic and social system in which capital and land, the non-labor factors of production (also known as the means of production), are privately owned.
Socialism-refers to the various theories of economic organization which advocate either public or direct worker ownership and administration of the means of production and allocation of resources.
2)Capitalism-(Shop Owner)because customers compete to buy the best goods at the lowest price and it shapes the market by affecting what businesses are able to sell.
Socialism-(Factory Worker) because they think that capitalist emploters take advantage of workers.
3)Socialism because it protects the factory workers the community or state must act to protect workers.

1) Capitalism is an economic system where the factors of production are owned privately and the money is invested in business ventures to make a profit. In socialism, the production factors are publicly owned and operate for the welfare of all.
2) Factory worker-socialism because capitalist employers take advantage of the workers. Shop owner- capitalism because the government won’t interfere in their work. Factory owner-capitalism because they can follow their own self-interest. Unemployed Artisan- socialism because the government distributes goods according to each person’s needs.
3) Capitalism, because the factories and stores are mostly privately owned in the United States. Also because businesses today still fight for peoples business.

2) A shop owner would like Capitalism most because in is a self-interest deal with no government interferance. A a factory owner would like Socialism more because they can take advantage of their workers.

3)Capitalism: the consumers try to get the lowest price while the vendor try to sell their product at the best price.

1 capitalism creates unequal distribution of wealth and material goods. socialism better distributes goods and wealth according to each persons needs.

3 capitalism b/c the factory owners don't care how much money the customers or the employees make as long as their happy.

1-in socialism the government owns everything and the people are just tenits, but in capitalism, the people own most of the land and businesses.
2-the factory worker and owner and shop owner would most likely like capitalism better because it gives them the options as far as running their own business and raising their wages through strike and unions. the unemployed artisan would like the socialism better because he would get more unempolyment benifets and he could get job more easily in that economy.
3-in the west parts of the world, capitalism is more popular. europe and north america is dominated by capitalistic economies but asia is more socialistic/communist.they have a larger work force and lower wages their though.
