1.Мы рады приветствовать профессора Бредфорда, доктора экономики из Лондонского университета. Профессор любезно согласился принять участие в нашей дискуссии, посвященной таким понятиям, как «рынок», «рыночная экономика», «плановая экономика». Итак, профессор, давайте начнем с «рынка». Что экономисты вкладывают в это понятие? 2.В мире существуют различные экономические системы. Многие экономисты утверждают, что наиболее эффективной является рыночная экономика. А как же в рамках этой системы решаются основные вопросы экономики? 3.Давайте поговорим о плановой экономике. Какие общие черты отличают страны с плановой, или командной, экономикой? 4.Однако большинство экономистов все же признают, что не существует такой экономики, которая была бы полностью плановой или полностью рыночной. В той или иной степени черты рыночной экономики присутствуют даже в тех странах, где в экономике преобладает государственный сектор. Каково ваше мнение? 5.Благодарим вас, профессор, за интересную беседу и надеемся на дальнейшее сотрудничество. |
