Introduction. Nigeria is characterized by a small, open, albeit mono-culturally powered economy that is
heavily dependent on crude oil, with managed-float exchange rate and free capital mobility
[25].
The two major economic systems in modern societies are
capitalism and socialism
. In practice most societies have economies that mix elements of both systems but that lean toward one end of the capitalism–socialism continuum. Social democracies combine elements of both capitalism and socialism.
In the case of Nigeria, its income may not be the most efficient, but it is large enough to not be at risk, so
the country is not considered least-developed
.
Nigeria has not benefited from globalization due to
monocultural export, inability to attract increased foreign investments and huge indebtedness
. But globalization can be domesticated in the country through diversification of exports, debt reduction and expanded development cooperation with other countries.

the period of the industrial revolution in the 1980s
, with the introduction of SAP (Structural Adjustment Programme).
Socialism is, broadly speaking, a political and economic system in which property and the means of production are owned in common, typically controlled by the state or government. Socialism is based on the idea that
common or public ownership of resources and means of production leads to a more equal society

an economy that participates in international trade, but is small enough compared to its trading partners that its policies do not alter world prices, interest rates, or incomes
. Thus, the countries with small open economies are price takers.
