Disadvantages of command economic system

One disadvantage of a command system is that it is not designed to meet the wants of consumers, even though many basic needs are provided.

A second disadvantage is that the system does not give people the incentive to work hard.

A third weakness is that the command economy requires a large decision-making bureaucracy.

Yet the fourth weakness of a command economy is that it does not have the flexibility to deal with minor, day-to-day problems.

Finally, people with new or unique ideas find it difficult to get ahead in a command economy.
