The Economy of the USA 

 

The Free Enterprise System 

 

The United States economy is based on the free enterprise system: 

Private businesses compete against one another with relatively little 

interference from the government. Since the depression of the 1930s, when 

the economy essentially collapsed, laws have been made giving the 

government a more active role in economic and other matters. 

 

Changes over Time 

 

Until the second half of the last century, the United States was a 

mainly agricultural nation. The Civil War (1861—1865) helped stimulate 

industry. In the years that followed, industrialization transformed the 

country, although many areas, especially the South, remained mainly 

agricultural and rural. 

In the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. economy grew rapidly. Many 

companies moved to the South and Southwest, and these areas experienced 

change and growth. Then, in the mid 1970s, economic growth began to slow 

down. 

Just as there had been a shift from agriculture to industry, there is 

now a shift from industry to services. (Services are provided by hospitals, 

banks, law firms, hotels and restaurants, and so on.) In recent years, most 

new jobs have been service jobs. 

 

The Situation Today 

 

The United States is a large country and is rich in natural resources. 

It is a leading producer of fuel—of oil, natural gas, and coal. It is also a 

leading producer of many other minerals, including copper, gold, aluminum, 

iron, and lead. The United States grows wheat, corn, and other crops and 

raises many cows, pigs, and chickens. 

However, the United States is also a major consumer of resources. 

This means, for ex ample, that the United States must import much of the 

fuel it uses. 

Not surprisingly, international trade is important to the United States. 

Major exports include machinery and high-technology equipment, chemicals, 

cars, aircraft, and grains. Major imports include machinery and 

telecommunications equipment, oil, cars, metals, and chemicals.

Today, the United States faces some major economic challenges. 

One important challenge is increasing its productivity, or the efficiency of 

the labor force, in order to in crease the rate of economic growth. Another 

challenge, as the country shifts from manufacturing to services, is to train 

people to fill new kinds of jobs. 

 

Discussion Points 

 

• What are some of the major imports and exports of your country? 

• The passage says that in the United States two major economic 

challenges are (1) increasing productivity of workers and (2) training 

workers for new kinds of jobs. Do you know what major economic 

challenges your country is facing now?
