What is “cultural” about the ways societies organize their economic systems? Think about the dominant economic system in the U.S. (production of goods and services, technology, allocation of resources, division of labor). What are some of the culturally constructed ideas reflected in this system? What are some alternative ideas and systems?

If you need help understanding the concept of how cultural factors influence the ways societies organize their economic systems, I would be more than happy to provide an explanation.
Cultural factors play a significant role in shaping economic systems. Different societies have distinct cultural values, beliefs, and norms that influence how they approach production, technology, resource allocation, and division of labor.
In the case of the United States, some culturally constructed ideas reflected in its economic system include individualism, competition, and the pursuit of profit. These ideas stem from cultural values and beliefs that emphasize personal freedom, success, and the ability to make individual choices. This cultural context shapes the way goods and services are produced, technological innovations are pursued, resources are allocated, and labor is divided.
However, it is essential to note that alternative ideas and systems also exist. Different cultures prioritize different aspects of their economic systems. Some alternative ideas and systems include communal ownership, sustainability, social welfare, and the prioritization of collective well-being over individual profit.
