Answer 1

The statement "Monopolies form for some products" is NOT typically considered a major setback specifically for command economies. While monopolies can exist in various economic systems, command economies often have state-controlled industries that may not function in the same competitive environment as market economies. The other statements — politicians driving decision-making, lack of incentive to innovate, and less motivated workers — are more directly related to the challenges faced by command economies.
