<![CDATA[A country's economic system actually refers to a unified mechanism and decision-making institutions that implement decisions on economic aspects such as production, consumption, and income distribution. A country's economic system can also be shaped by various complex factors, such as ideology and belief systems, worldviews, geography, politics, socio-culture, and other factors.
