E2 INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES IN FREE MARKETS: Free enterprise is a pillar of the United States economy and is based on the principle that individuals and businesses are free to make their own economic choices as they participate
in these markets. Individuals buy the goods and services that they desire from businesses in the product markets, and they contribute to producing these goods and services by supplying the resources that they own to businesses in the markets. This activity is the basis of our private economy, and our governmental spending programs.



Essential Questions: "Why does a free economic system require freedom of speech as an underpinning?"

"Why do planned, or, totalitarian, economic systems employ restrictions on freedom of speech?"


Not all Free Market Economists are men. The woman in the video is Margaret Thatcher, former Primer Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 - 1990. Her nickname was "The Iron Lady." Ms. Thatcher was a sound economist in her own right. Listen to how passionately and articulately she defends Free Enterprise.
