Detailed explanation-2: -Disadvantages of Command Economy Lack of incentives: In a command economy, the government controls all the means of production and makes all the decisions about what goods and services will be produced. This can lead to a lack of incentives for innovation and entrepreneurship, which can hinder economic growth.

So, a command economy often means large surpluses or shortages of products and services.
