Unicorns have to make something of themselves(independency) with power(magic), it's how their economy works.

Pegasi do work(public sevices) and help other ponies in need(welfare) for free or fun, it's how their people work.

Unicorns use magic and bulid rich homes.

Pegasi use weather and help build nature

Unicorns = Naturally Rich Inpendent Capitalists

Pegasis = Naturally Peace loving Communists

With these differences, however, tensions flared. The Equestrian Cold War between Canterlot and Cloudsdale began. It's hard for other towns and cities to choose sides.

That's how Ponyville become the mixed economy you know today! =D
