Question

why might a country with a command economy be more likely to have an autocratic government? use what you know about citizen participation in both systems to explain your answer.

Explanation:

In a command economy, the government makes all major economic decisions such as what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce. This requires a high - level of central control. Autocratic governments also have centralized power with limited citizen participation. In both systems, the lack of widespread citizen input in decision - making processes creates a similarity. The autocratic government can more easily enforce the top - down economic decisions typical of a command economy as it does not have to consider diverse citizen opinions.

Answer:

A country with a command economy might be more likely to have an autocratic government because both systems have limited citizen participation. In a command economy, the government centrally plans economic activities, and in an autocratic government, political power is concentrated, with little room for citizen influence in decision - making. This similarity in the lack of broad citizen input makes the two systems more likely to co - exist.
