a) An increase in the level of government involvement in trade.b) Private ownership of business.c) An increase in the rate at which jobs are created.d) More incentives for workers to work harder.

A mixed economy combines elements of both a socialist and a free market economy.

A mixed economy creates the freedom to establish a private business of an investor's preference. A Buyer has the freedom to purchase products of their choice.

An economy that is transitioning from socialist to mixed economy will likely experience the development of private businesses. In a socialist economy, only the government is allowed to own the factors of production. It produces all the goods and services in the country. As a mixed economy allows private ownership of businesses, the people of Amerensia will be free to establish and run their businesses.
