The main difference between a democratic government and an autocratic government is who controls. In a democracy the government is controlled by the people either through elected representatives or directly by the people. In an autocracy one person, or a group of people have full control, without the participation or consent of the people. For example the US has a representative democracy where we elect representatives to vote on all decisions and North Korea and Cuba are examples of Autocratic nations. The economies of these two governments are also very different. Democratic nations most always have a market system where buyers and sellers decide how to produce, who to produce for, and how much to produce. The government has no say in how business is done. On the other hand, in an autocracy the economy is either a command or traditional system. The government controls all business arrangements in command economies and in traditional, business is done how it's always been done, and that's decided by the ways of their ancestors.
