Command Economic System: In this system there is a centralized power which is usually the Government of that country which decides about the price of the prodcut, the quantity to be produced and other aspects related to it.In this the prices are not decided by the demand and supply factors but by the Government.There is the monoply of the government.Such systems can be found in the countries like China.
