In my statement, the British Prime Minister speaks of the need to create conditions for the existence of a free market.

The statement said that the manifestation of the black market is a reaction to gross government intervention in the existence of a free market.

From the theory course, we know that the market is a system of economic relations regarding the purchase and sale of goods and services. Signs of the market are: the presence of private property, free pricing, the independence of entrepreneurs. It is under these conditions that the market can develop normally. And the opposite of the free market is a black or illegal market, that is, such a system of relations in which entrepreneurs operate outside the law and do not pay taxes in favor of the state.

The reasons for the emergence of an illegal market are unfavorable economic conditions created by the state in relation to small, medium and large businesses, high taxes, frequent inspections, and strict requirements in relation to doing business.

A striking example confirming this point of view is the period of the history of the USSR of the 1970s, which went down in history under the name "era of stagnation." In the absence of private property, freedom of entrepreneurship and the ability to increase their well-being, citizens began to engage in illegal economic activities, which led to the emergence of a black market and the flourishing of speculation.

Another example is the youth forum shown on television, during which a meeting with the President of the Russian Federation took place, and the youth talked about the fact that due to constant orders and inspections it is impossible to open your own business and put it on its feet, which forces young people to illegal activities.

Thus, a state that does not create conditions for the development of a free market does not protect it, thereby forming a black market, depriving themselves of income, and of citizens - respect for existing laws.

Analysis of the mini-essay according to the evaluation criteria of task No. 29. Demo 2019

29.1 The meaning is disclosed.   The main idea is highlighted and disclosed - the need for the state to create conditions for the existence of a free market. (1 point)

29.2 Theoretical content:

Signs of the market and reasons for moving away from the legal market in the shadow are given.

Disadvantages:now there is practically no free market anywhere, so the state is forced to regulate the economy! - This is a mixed type of economy. It was necessary to show ways of regulating the market by the state, namely: administrative methods, economic levers (tax and credit policy), legal levers (the fight against monopolies, restoration of competition); the departure of business into the black market is a consequence of excessive administrative pressure and an increase in the tax burden. (1 point out of 2)

29.3 The correctness of the use of concepts, reasoning (the presence or absence of errors)

Inaccuracy in the definition of a free market (instead of legal), but in the context of the statement, the error is insignificant (1 point out of 1)

29.4 Actual arguments:at least 2 correct facts / examples; examples should be from different sources: media, school subjects, personal experience, facts of public life; examples should be detailed.

An example from history is incorrect, erroneous: in the USSR of the 70s there was no market! The command-administrative type of economy dominated. Therefore, "illegal, black market in the USSR" - these were the phenomena of a market economy, that is the very free market that Churchill is talking about.

An example from the media: count.

One could give an example from personal experience, for example:

... my acquaintances, farmers in the village "came out of the shadows", i.e. registered their business and began to pay taxes. This was due to the fact that the state began to pursue a policy of tax holidays, simplified registration, tax cuts for agricultural producers, and the issuance of soft loans.

Because the government recently proclaimed a policy of reducing obsolete and redundant business inspections by state regulatory authorities (the “guillotine”); many entrepreneurs will prefer to conduct their business legally. The economy will revive, GDP growth will increase. The state and the whole society will benefit from this. (1 point out of 2)

This man with the appearance of a Rablesian hero really seems to me to have stepped from somewhere from the Renaissance times in our time: he is a warrior (in his youth with arms in his hands he demonstrated miracles of courage), and a politician (needs no explanation), and an artist (his paintings under the pseudonym Charles Morin appeared at the annual exhibitions of the Royal Academy of Arts, exhibited in Paris and purchased at fairly high prices by collectors), and a writer (in 1953 Winston Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature, awarded "For the great skill in the historical and biographical genres and for excellence in oratory") ... In addition, this extraordinary man entered the history of modern culture, and as a recognized master of the aphorism.
