A mixed economy is better than a command/planned economy

If my opponent likes to start. You can do so in Round 1. If you do not and want me to make the first arguments do tell me in Round 1 so that Round 1 can be considered the acceptance Round.

Mixed economy: Combination of both market and government deciding on production,

Command/planned economy: Government owns the means of production.

There is not one example of a pure command economy working, There is no example of a pure market system working either, All systems are mixed systems, All of them
that said, Planned economies do work china now is still a planned state directed economy, The state stil owns directs and commends the commanding heights of industry big state run firms still domonated their excellent economy and they still have five year plans, Singapore used as an example of a perfect market economy also has a huge state owned sector most of the land and much of the housing is own and run by the state in SINGAPORE! Norway has a very big state run sector and works fine, France for 30 years 30 glorious years has an economy more state run that the prsent chinese economy that grew 5% a year, A real amazing success it is not proper to deal with absolutes

all economies are mixed so you set yourself up to win by default
capitalism and socailism don't exist all systems are mixtures of both al economies are mixed so a agree with you and disagree at the same time

my point is at time state directed econoies in japan france italy singapore and chia have done very well, Market socialism state capitalism call it what you will are mixed economies because all economies are mixed
there are no absolutes none

that said there are examples of state dircted economies doing very very well better in fact than those with much less state influence

Argument
When the market fails it in a mixed economy the government can use its power to stop a recession or at the very to do not make it as bad. Even on the other side. When the market succeeds to much the government can step in to add taxation in order to reduce monopoly.

Inequality will be less of a problem because the mixed economy I am for is the one which provides healthcare for all while also education. This will be gathered from enforcing current laws and increasing taxation until the gap between the rich and the power is nullified and there is a middle class instead of two extremes. When people say capitalism has made the poor richer. I will say it has also made the rich richer. The problem is that the rich are gaining much more capital than the poor which does increase the differences between the two groups. When someone also says that I say but they are still poor. I much rather have the poor thriving instead of staying poor which mostly unregulated capitalism has done. With taxing the rich and enforcing we are able to provide better education for the poor which would be equity. GDP is also a tired line given by conservatives. The problem is that I much rather have a population survive a famine rather then have a GDP. Population survival comes before people thriving.

In a mixed economy it allows people to make businesses but will be regulated by the state. This will reduce discrimination and improve welfare programs if done correctly. Sure you won't be making as much as almost unregulated capitalism but the employees will have a safety net while also be treated fairly.

all economies are mixed so you set yourself up to win by default
Not really because your argument for socialism can beat mine.

so a agree with you and disagree at the same time

You would have to disagree because half or whatever my position maybe is not full socialism which is why it is different.

because all economies are mixed there are no absolutes none
I used planned economy so that opposition can use China as an example which I am you are capable of doing.

China has a planned economy and has the wordls fastest growing economy, In 1980 90% of the population lived in abject poverty, Today it is less than 2% and this progress was made with reforms but again most of the economy remians in the hands of the state either outright or through controls

In what way does this make it better than a mixed economy? Would like an explanation.

In 1980 90% of the population lived in abject poverty, Today it is less than 2% and this progress was made with reforms but again most of the economy remians in the hands of the state either outright or through controls
You have provided no source and expect me to find it. I couldn't find the stats about so I am going to make it about salary. The average salary in the United States is $44, 564 and the average salary in China is 74, 318 Yuan. Both stats from 2017. When we convert 74, 000 Yuan to the dollar it is $10, 982. 90. This means a person will earn roughly four times more in the US compared to China.

You have provided numbers without sources. Would like them.
