Most towns had market days when farmers and manufacturers sold their produce in the town square or marketplace. By 1690, however, most towns also had proper shops. Shopkeepers travelled around the country to buy goods for their shops, which were new and exciting and drew people from the country to see them. Towns which had shops grew larger, while smaller towns without shops remained no more than villages. London remained far larger than any other town, with more than 500,000 people by 1650. It controlled almost all the sea trade with other countries. After the fire of 1666, the richer citizens for the first time had water supplied to their houses through specially made wooden pipes.

The Planned Economy (I)
In many ways, the planned economy is the direct opposition of the market economy. In the market economy, the forces of supply and demand decide everything: what is produced, how much is produced, the methods of production and the price. In the planned economy, all of this is decided by the government.
Unfortunately, no economic system is perfect. If there was a perfect system, economists wouldn’t have anything to argue about! Market economics have their strengths, but they have their problems, too. Planned economies try to provide solutions to these problems. For example, the free market supplies the things that people want. However, what people want and what they need are not always the same: Fast food is always in demand, but it’s bad for us. In a planned economy, the government could decide to stop fast food restaurants operating in the market.
A second problem with free markets is that the producers always want the highest price. Often the poor can’t afford things. In a planned economy, the government sets prices. They make sure that everyone can afford basic commodities. This is one way that planned economies try to share things equally. Another is to control how much people get paid.
In a planned economy, workers’ wages depend on the service they provide to society. If people can live without your service, you get paid less. This is very different from the free market where someone’s salary mostly depends on the demand for his or her work. If people like what you do, you get paid more.
