The market capitalism that best serves the UK has strengths which include; it can easily advance dependence transition from one industry to another seamlessly due to the fact that industries develop at almost an equivalent level. Secondly, the model fosters open direct foreign investment by reducing barriers to external trade. Lastly, due to the diversification of industry focus, the model has little chance of an unemployment situation. However, the system has weaknesses too, for instance, it promotes wide wage dispersion which evidently increases the gap between the poor and the rich (Morgan and Whitley, 2012). Furthermore, it encourages uneven economic prosperity of regions because of the frequent transitions from one industry to another.
