We can also take a market as a set of economic forces called supply and demand. Supply forces tend to bring goods and services into consumption.Demand forces tend to result in consumption of those goods and services. Supply and demand forces interact to form a price. Since markets play a large role in our economy,we say we have a market economy. A market economy is an economic system in which prices determine how resources will be used and how products will be distributed.
