HOW ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AFFECT BUSINESSES

Adam Smith and the Creation of Wealth


 Creating more resources so that everyone could become wealthier.
 Freedom is vital to the survival of any economy, especially the freedom to own land or
property and to keep the profits from working the land or running a business.
 People will work long and hard if they have incentives for doing so—that is, if they
know they’ll be rewarded.
 As a result of those efforts, the economy would prosper, with plenty of food and all
kinds of products available to everyone.

HOW ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AFFECT BUSINESSES

How Businesses Benefit the Community


 Invisible Hand: A phrase coined by Adam Smith to
describe the process that turns self-directed gain into social
and economic benefits for all.
 How do people working in their own self-interest produce
goods, services, and wealth for others?
 It is important for businesses to be ethical as well as
generous.
 Unethical practices undermine the whole economic system.

10
 Business Cycles: The periodic rises and falls that occur
in economies over time.
 Economist Joseph Schumpeter identified the four phases
of long-term business cycles as boom–recession–
depression–recovery:
THE BUSINESS 1. An economic boom is just what it sounds like—business is
CYCLE booming.
2. Recession is two or more consecutive quarters of decline in
the GDP.
3. A depression is a severe recession, usually accompanied by
deflation.
4. A recovery occurs when the economy stabilizes and starts to
grow. This eventually leads to an economic boom, starting the
cycle all over again.
