Students will participate in a bead simulation activity to learn about different economic systems - traditional, command, and market. They will be divided into groups and rotate through stations representing each system type. The activity is designed to show how the basic economic questions of what, how, and for whom to produce are answered differently under each system using examples like the Mbuti Pygmies, North Korea, and the United States. Most real-world economies are mixed, incorporating elements of multiple systems.
