In Alberta right now there is a dangerous shortage of nurses. The reason for this is that the country of Canada, a mixed economy, did not look to the future and predict this scarcity. The lack of nurses in Alberta can be blamed on an absence of planning and promotion to boost the number of employees working in threatened jobs. In a central economy, this problem would have been foreseen and prevented as best as possible, which is another advantage to total government control. That concludes my arguments in favor of a controlled economy. A centrally planned economy is certain to meet everyone's basic needs, there are no monopolies allowed, no supply and demand wheel affects the economy, good values of equality and sharing are taught, and a central economy looks ahead at the 'big picture' and makes sure that there is a balance in society. Even though I have grown up in a mixed economy, I feel that a controlled economy suits everyone's needs nicely and there is a sense of order involved.
