2) Variety of goods/services are produces so consumers are free to choose what they want to buy
3) Neither shortage nor surplus of goods/services is faced so resources are not wasted

5) New businesses are encouraged by the profits
Disadvantages of free economy
1) No government-provided services, eg health, education, etc are not there so only those who can afford to buy these services will benefit from them, thus the gap between the rich and the poor increases.
2) Non-profitable goods/services are not produced
3) Since the government has little control and planning, economic booms or recessions may be faced
4) Businesses may be encouraged to create monopolies. They may increase their prices which will limit the choice of the consumers

The main advantage of free economy is that all good and service offered in an economy are in partial or perfect competition. This state of economy ultimately give assistance to the end consumer because of the price benefit enjoyed. However one major disadvantage is that due to free economy local inefficient industries collapse or the industry which is at infancy in some local market may not be able to survive due to intense competitive environment. This may hinder innovation and create unemployment.

"local inefficient industries collapse "

As far as I am concerned, inefficient industries SHOULD collapse. Darwinism operates within the business world as well.

The disadvantage is, without parameter and income tax, the strong ones become stronger and form up monopolies.

Advantage
1- prices will decrease
2- quality will increase
3- investment will increase by competition
4- customers will have the right of choices
disadvantage
1- government can not involve in market so some times vice avers the price will increase we know that government can control the prices by taxes but in some countries government is weak they so can not for instance you can see this situation in government of afghanistan. Now traders have union illegally and they can select price for goods as they want.
Poor will become poorer but rich will become richer it is right that we can not finnish the distance between rich and poor even in socialistic system. But we can make it less by using socialistic system so the problem is just that government can not involve to market.
2- market will just produce profitable goods and I'm merits goods so trader do not have care of society.

OR the value of the lower is brought up a little, and the other value is dropped a lot!
So now the Value of the US dollar is dropping like a rock, and it takes far more dollars to do the same thing!
And the worlds economy is based on the US dollar to a very high level!
So now this chain reaction is spreading to the world, and the very poor countries will have to look else where for aid!
So this new approach will be felt by those VERY poor Starving People the MOST!
The lowest link on the chain WILL PAY THE MOST!
