American Enterprise Day is observed on November 15 each year. On this day, U.S.

residents
recognize free enterprise and how it has contributed to the economy. Jimmy Carter made a
Presidential Proclamation on August 8, 1980 directing that American Enterprise Day be observed.
To celebrate American Enterprise Day, we are going to research the American economy and create a
flyer that promotes the American Enterprise System. First research the American economy by
answering the questions below.

1. Why type of economy do

we have in the United
States?
2. What is a mixed market
economy?

3. What is the law of supply

and demand?

4. What is capitalism?

5. What are other forms of

economies worldwide?

The US has a Capitalist Economy.

A mixed market economy protects private property and

allows a level of economic freedom in the use of capital,
but also allows for governments to interfere
in economic activities in order to achieve social aims.
The law of demand states that the higher the price of a
product, the less consumers will demand that product. The
law of supply says that producers of a particular good
raise the price of that product to increase revenue. Supply
and demand work together to help determine how much of
a product is produced and what the maximum price of that
product can be, to increase revenue for the producer
without decreasing the demand.
Capitalism is an economic system in which businessmen
privately own the means of production.
Other forms of economies include: traditional, command,
market and mixed.

Based on the research above, you are to create a flyer that promotes the American Enterprise System (not American
Enterprise Day). Be sure to follow the design features, elements, and tips presented in the Creating a Flyer presentation.
