In the past, the role of government has been social, political, economic, community and personal levels which have been the cause of considerable, debate, wars and other important social phenomena that have shaped our lives. Due to the various struggles of the economic system, five broad classes have emerged from it namely:

The developed market:- Market economy where there is advanced free market processes with government helping to develop competition within agreed boundaries. This is common in Western Europe, North, African and Japan. The government uses fiscal monetary trade policies to guide the market forces of demand and supply.
The mixed economy exists in most developing countries. These countries lack a developed private sector (of indigenous extraction) and so the state through the agency of the government take control of the commanding heights of the economy with a view to developing them and also preventing them from falling into the hands of foreignness.
The pure market (capitalists) economy in which there is complete and unhindered private ownership of the means of production. This economic system cannot and does not exist anywhere because man is a social being and common property is inevitable.
The command (or centrally planned) social economy is existed in the defend Soviet Union. Private ownership of substantial means of production is legally limited. The state owners all land and heavy industries and communes or rural settlers are given targets to meet in their production.
