There are 3 types of economies: a command (planned) economy, a market

economy and a mixed one. A mixed economy is a combination of market and planned economies. In mixed economies some resources are controlled by the government and other resources are used by demands of consumers. Technically, all economies of the world are mixed. Practically, in all economies the balance between market elements and planned elements is always changing. Some countries are nearer to command economies but others are nearer to free market. For example, Hong Kong has some state–controlled industry, Cuba has privately-owned and state -controlled firms.

So, in a mixed economy the government and private sectors interact in solving economic problems. State allocates money for education, science and health, while private firms produce cars, furniture, electrical items and other goods.
