No, Brazil is not a command economy. It operates under a mixed-market system, which combines elements of both capitalism and government intervention.
A command economy is one where the government makes all decisions regarding the production and distribution of goods and services. In such economies, the state owns most, if not all, of the means of production. Historical examples include the former Soviet Union and North Korea.
In contrast, Brazil has a market economy that allows for private ownership and entrepreneurial endeavors. While the Brazilian government does play a significant role through regulations, social programs, and public enterprises, the economy largely relies on the principles of supply and demand. Various sectors in Brazil, including agriculture, mining, and services, are driven by private initiatives, which contributes to the country’s economic growth and innovation.
Moreover, Brazil is a member of international economic organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), highlighting its commitment to engaging in global trade practices typical of a market economy rather than a command economy.
