A closed private economy is one where a country doesn’t allow external economies to affect domestic economic practices, but it can lead to underdeveloped economies. Autarchy is a common feature, and chauvinism and patriotism can form the basis of a mindset for the country’s economy.
A closed private economy is one in which a country does not allow external economies to affect domestic economic practices. The increasingly global environment makes it difficult for this type of economy to exist. There is no trade between the home economy and the nations around it; all goods come from within the borders of a single country. The problem here is when a country fails to provide the necessary resources for domestic economic growth. The result is often an underdeveloped economy with citizens who cannot rise above a certain lifestyle or economic level.
Economies are usually the result of government entities or individuals residing within a country’s borders. In some cases, a closed private economy may have the underpinnings of a market, capitalist, or command economy. In some cases, the latter may be the result, because there are not enough limited economic resources for all citizens. The government entity – or designated by citizens – will allocate resources as needed. The government entity can also impose heavy restrictions on the economy in order to prevent trade with other countries.
Autarchy is a common feature in a closed private economy. Individuals living in the country must be self-sufficient, ensuring that their actions help boost the overall economy. This term can also be applied to the nation as a whole, where the actions of the governmental entity or governmental body create a self-sufficient environment for the entire economy. This can lead to some different situations in a private and closed economy, such as chauvinism or patriotism. These are two concepts that can form the basis of a mindset for the country’s economy.
Chauvinism is a concept that means that a nation can only achieve economic goals by belittling other nations. For example, a country might build its economy by telling its citizens that other nations’ resources are inferior. These derogatory remarks make it difficult for the country to expand its closed private economy, because citizens don’t believe other economies are worthwhile. Political restrictions may not be necessary here due to the mindset of individual citizens as they avoid interaction with other countries for economic reasons.
Patriotism is somewhat less harmful than chauvinism in economic terms. It is a belief that one’s nation has the ability to be economically successful without the use of other nations. Freedom is often a central part of this private closed economy. A sense of nationalism helps the economy succeed among all others. There may be problems with this mentality, but it may be less harmful than chauvinism.
