Market economy
A market economy is an economic system in which the production, distribution, and pricing of goods and services are largely determined by the forces of supply and demand in the marketplace, rather than by government intervention. In a market economy, private individuals and businesses own the factors of production (such as land, labor, and capital) and make decisions about what to produce, how to produce it, and at what price to sell it.
