Text A

A person is economically free, if he can do what he wishes with his own property, time andd
effort. In all communities, of course, linrits are set upon this personal Freedom. In some
countries the limits are complex; in others they are 5 relatively simple. All individual citizens
are required to conform to the laws made by their governments. Complete economic freedom
of action can cause great difficulties, because the freedoms of various individuals will
conflict. 10 If citizens were completely free, some landowners might build factories in
unsuitabie places. If there was no system of control, factory-owners might make their
employees work too long each day. If they were completely free, workers might stop working
when 15 they got their first pay, and come back to do more work only when they needed
more money. Such economic freedom could create a very unstable economy. Laws related to
economic conditions are sometimes concerned with workers' health, wages and pensions. 20
They are sometimes concerned with contracts between employers and employees. They are
sometimes concerned with the location of places of work. Sometimes they help the
employers; sometimes they protect the 25 Interest of the workers.
