Explanation of Solution

Discuss the given statement:

The given statement states that free market economies stimulate economic growth and state-directed economies stifle economic growth.

In a free market economy, the individual or private corporations have the right to own the property. In such an economy, those individuals or private corporations would work hard to improve their wealth, as they have the right of ownership. They would create new advertisement campaigns, develop new products, and innovate things. They will give their best to develop their wealth, which would stimulate the economic growth.
