A Mixed Economy : The Role of the Market
The United States is said to have a mixed economy because privately owned businesses and government both play important roles.
Indeed, some of the most enduring debates of American economic history focus on the relative roles of the public and private sectors.
The American free enterprise system emphasizes private ownership.
Private businesses produce most goods and services, and almost two - thirds of the nation's total economic output goes to individuals for personal use (the remaining one - third is bought by government and business).
The consumer role is so great, in fact, that the nation is sometimes characterized as having a "consumer economy.
" This emphasis on private ownership arises, in part, from American beliefs about personal freedom.
From the time the nation was created, Americans have feared excessive government power, and they have sought to limit government's authority over individuals – including its role in the economic realm.
In addition, Americans generally believe that an economy characterized by private ownership is likely to operate more efficiently than one with substantial government ownership.

Environmental Protection.
Economists have long thought of the environment as an unlimited source of resources.
For thousands of years people lived in harmony with the environment but with the industrial revolution our negative influence on Nature began to increase.
Large cities with thousands of steaming, polluting factories can be found nowadays all over the world.
The by - products of their activity pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink, the fields where our crops are grown.
There are many consequences of damaging the environment.
One of them is "acid rain".
Cars with their engines and factories have become the main source of air pollution in industrial areas.
When factories send gases and chemicals into the air, they mix and the mixture is carried for hundreds of miles by the wind and finally, it falls back to earth.
This "acid rain" kills fish and trees and slowly it kills everything.
The third problem is damage to wildlife.
Vast forests are cut down in Africa, South America and Asia for the needs of industries in Europe and in the USA.
As a result, some species of animals, birds, fish and plants have disappeared and keep disappearing.
Another problem is damage to water and soils.
Dumping wastes into lakes, rivers, seas and oceans causes water pollution.
Harmful wastes may also get into the soil or drain off fields that have been sprayed with pesticides.
There is another aspect of the environmental problem, the importance and urgency of which steadily grow.
How country disposes of its waste may have a major effect on its future and the future of the world, too.
Recycling waste and rubbish receives ever - greater care in Europe.
Cans, paper and empty bottles and other things we call rubbish are accumulated in every home.
Recycling process has double effect, the other part of it being - saving energy, which would have been necessary for producing new things.
In Russia and the former Soviet republics there are some areas where the environment is in a poor state.
Some of them are the Aral Sea, Lake Baikal, the Kuzbass, Semipalatinsk and Chernobyl.
Cotton growing in the region of the Aral Sea has used huge quantities of water, and the level of the sea has fallen by 14 yards.
For decades nuclear weapons were tested near Semipalatinsk, and the ground is contaminated with radiation there.
More than twenty years ago a pulp - and - paper factory was built on the shore of Lake Baikal.
As a result of the pollution, more than 50 per cent of the world's purest water has been ruined.
The whole ecological system of the lake has changed greatly.
After the disaster in Chernobyl the inhabitants of the nearby towns and villages had to be evacuated.
Some of them died and some became invalids.
Problems of environment are no longer problems of one particular country or one particular region of a country.
One of the most serious environmental problems in large cities in Britain is thick fog, which the British so often have in autumn and in winter.
In London the fog is sometimes so thick that cars run into one another.
For many centuries, during the cold time of the year, the English people used coal in their fireplaces in private houses, though smoke from factories contributed a great deal to the trouble too.
This kind of fog the English people used to call smog.
Unusually thick smog in London in 1962 caused the death of some 4000 people.
A Clean Air Act was passed in 1956, which prohibited the use of open coal fires at homes and in the city area.
Today, many scientists and ordinary people realize that the Earth is in a danger.
Either we stop killing the Earth or we kill ourselves.
The protection of the environment is a universal concern.
Active measures should be taken to create an international system of ecological security.
Some progress has been made in this direction.
Many people belong to Green organizations in countries all over the world.
Groups like "Green Peace" have already helped to stop some animals hunting but there are so many things to be done on our planet and our life on the Earth depends only on ourselves.

KALAHARI DESERT Deserts cover about a fifth of the world's land area.
The Kalahari Desert covers most of Botswana, parts of Namibia and stretches into South Africa.
It is one of the world's largest deserts and it is four times the size of Britain, In the daytime, it is extremely hot, but at night it is cold.
The Kalahari does not have many plants and most of the animals that live there can survive underground.
This is because of the heat during the day, but they come out at night when it is cool.
However, the climate is changing and this desert does not have as much rain as it did a few years ago.
Experts say that the wind is becoming stronger, too.
This means that the sand is moving around the desert is actually getting bigger.
In fact, the sand might soon cover large areas of farm land READING Unfortunately, this could mean that the poorest people might have an even harder time surviving in the desert.
Most of them might have to move to a better place.

Смешанная экономика : роль рынка
Говорят, что в Соединенных Штатах смешанная экономика, поскольку частные компании и правительство играют важную роль.
Действительно, некоторые из самых продолжительных дебатов американской экономической истории сосредоточены на относительной роли государственного и частного секторов.
Американская система свободного предпринимательства подчеркивает частную собственность.
Частные предприятия производят большую часть товаров и услуг, и почти две трети всей экономической продукции страны идет на нужды физических лиц (оставшаяся треть покупается правительством и бизнесом).
Роль потребителя настолько велика, что нация иногда характеризуется как «потребительская экономика».
Этот акцент на частной собственности возникает, в частности, из американских убеждений о личной свободе.
Со времени создания нации американцы опасались чрезмерной власти правительства и стремились ограничить власть правительства над отдельными лицами, включая его роль в экономической сфере.
Кроме того, американцы, как правило, считают, что экономика, характеризующаяся частной собственностью, вероятно, будет работать более эффективно, чем экономика с существенной государственной собственностью.
