Compare and Contrast of the Economies
In a command economy, the government determines how the three basic economic questions (what to make, how to make it, who to make it for) will be answered. So, economic planning is done by the government.
By contrast, in a traditional economy, the questions are answered by tradition -- people do things the way they always have. So people make what their parents made and make them in the same ways.
A third kind of economy is a market economy where consumers decide (through their buying choices) how the three questions will be answered. So what consumers want gets made and it gets made in the way that consumers want
