1. Left-Wing Economics System involve a greater role for society and the government to determine what gets produced, how it gets produced, and who gets the produced goods and services, with the stated aim of ensuring social justice and a more equitable distribution of wealth.  Meanwhile, right-wing economic systems give more power to certain private individuals or corporations to make those decisions, rather than leaving them up to society as a whole, and often limit government involvement in the economy. The primary concern of left wing economic system is usually egalitarianism, while the primary concern of right wing economic system is usually private property.

Socialism       - Individual own their own human capital and the government owns most other non human resources - that is most of the major factors of productions are owned by the state.  Land, factories, and major machinery are publicly owned.

Communism   - All resources, both human and non-human are owned by the sate. The government takes on a central planning role directing both production and consumption in a socially desirable manner.

Capitalism
       - Individual own all resources both human and non human. Governments intervene only minimally in the operation of markets, primarily to protect the private property rights of individuals. Free markets in which suppliers and demanders can enter and exit the market at their own discretion are fundamental to the capitalist economic system. The concept of laissez-faire, that is, leaving the coordination of individuals’ wants to be controlled by the market, is also a tenet of capitalism.

Debate topics on economic systems:

Group A  : We want to be ourselves, own all our properties and money singly and individually without interference from the government. Therefore, I support right-wing economics system.           

                                   ( VS. )  

Group F :
We want to support the government and like to be under egalitarianism in money matters and properties wise. Therefore, we support left-wing economics system.

Group B : If government do not interfere and related to our business what is the use of establishing a country?  We are from government so we don’t want capitalism? We want to control everything.

                                              ( VS )

Group E : We are rich, have a lot of money and want to enjoy life in this world. We don’t want to be controlled by any one. So the economics system should be capitalism only.

Group C: None of the economics systems we have studied are useless. We don’t want any one of these. We are genius and want to create a new economics system for humanity.

                                                ( VS )

Group D: 
We accept all the economics systems we have studied. Every system has been used by different nations and governments all over the world. We want every system for us. No refusal should be made.


Creative pictures and materials to showcase in the debate by the ss. will be welcome.
