Type of economic systems: theoretical aspects

The article considers a new approach to identifying the types of economic systems, based on the methodology of the systematic approach. It is shown that with a “rigid” division of types of economic systems, their “pure” varieties can be distinguished. At the same time, the most popular classification into traditional - market - planned economies, as it was established, is incomplete. The author proposes new theoretical solutions to complete this typology. It also points to the reason for the impossibility of completing the discussion about the proportions of combining the planned and market principles within the mixed (real) economy. This reason lies in the absence of a quantitative criterion of planed / market of the economic system. It was proposed to focus further economic and theoretical efforts on its search.
