Command Economy
Basically, there are there types of economies, all happening at the same time: Market, Command, and Barter.
The Market Economy is the one you hear about the most. Praise the "Free Market" they say, with no government interference and it will work out for the best!
The Barter Economy is where people exchange goods and services without the exchange of money. The Barter Economy springs up the most in desperate situations where no one has any money. This might also be the kind of economy where people lose their integrity.
The Command Economy is the one that governments use. Governments must have certain things for the military, the police, and other services. President Bidens' Build Back Better Act is a great example of using the Command Economy to upgrade the country.
It can be argued that autocratic countries like Communist China can make the best use of the Command Economy since they can command people to make factories that undercut the production cost of any other country...
How would you use the Command Economy if you were the leader?
