Prompt: What economical system(s) did Libya use under the Gaddafi's rule?

Response:

Under Muammar Gaddafi's rule, Libya had a unique economic system known as the Jamahiriya. This system was characterized by a mix of socialist and Arab nationalist principles, with a heavy emphasis on public ownership of key industries, such as oil and gas. The government controlled the means of production and distribution, and the country's oil revenues were used to fund social programs and infrastructure development.

Gaddafi also implemented a social welfare system, which provided free education, healthcare, and housing to all citizens. However, the system was also marked by corruption, cronyism, and a lack of political freedoms, which led to widespread discontent and eventually contributed to the 2011 Libyan Civil War.
