Main Body
2.0 Describe the economic nature of your given country
An economy is a system whereby goods are made and exchanged. While not a
variable economy, a state can collapse. Therefore, there are 3 main kinds of
economies free market, command, and mixed economy. Besides a traditional
economy relies on ancient times and is the most basic type of economy and such
economies focus on agriculture, cattle herding, fishing, etc. A free-market economy
typically happens in democratic states and individuals and businesses will make their
own decisions. Whereas, a command economy is where the state’s central
government make all of the country’s economic decisions. Finally, a mixed economy
combines elements of free-market and command economies. Therefore, Thailand
follows a mixed economy system in which a variety of private freedom combined
with centralized economic planning and government regulation with the private
sector, the main engine of growth (GDP around USD500billion).
Food, water, healthcare, and, housing are the fundamental needs of a country
(Needs are limited). On the opposite hand, wants are desires that can be glad by
goods and services (Wants are unlimited). However, in Thailand location, wellbeing,
and socio-economic standing are what people say they need, and the extent to
which they feel they have satisfied their needs [Gough et al, 2007].
The main factor of production in Thailand are agriculture, medicine, electronics,
and many others. Thailand has a labour force of 38.9 million people and its economy
is heavily based on agriculture which contributes 8.1% of the GDP and employs
20.4% of the active population. The country is the largest producer of rubber and
one of the leading producers and exporters of rice. The manufacturing sector
accounts for 34.9% of the GDP and is well-diversified, employing 23.4% of the active
population.
The economic system of Thailand incorporates both renewable and no-renewable
resources/energy which includes wind power, hydropower, and many others. The
Thai government has emphasized renewable energy sources within the country. The
ministry of energy issued a revised Power development plan (PDP). Specializing in a
goal that generating capacity of renewable projects will represent 15-20% of total
power consumption in the country by 2036. By the tip of 2017, Thailand's existing
power generation capacity was 49,047.54MW.
