| | Market economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A market economy is an economic system in which goods and services are traded, with the price at which goods and services are exchanged being determined by trades that occur as a result of sellers' asking prices matching buyers' bid prices. | | | The theoretical model of a large-scale free market economy does not occur legally, however the underground economy may be seen as an actualized free market economy. | | | Generally market economies are bottom up in decisionmaking as consumers input information to producers through prices paid when purchasing products on the market. |

| | Free market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | When applied to the market, as an ethical justification, they are appealing primarily to its intrinsic value as a self-organising entity. | | | The free market can be seen as facilitating a form of decision-making through what is known as dollar voting, where a purchase of a product is tantamount to casting a vote for a producer to continue producing that product. | | | In Europe, the term 'liberalism' retains its connotation as the ideology of the free market, but in American usage it came to be associated with government intervention, and acquired a pejorative meaning for supporters of the free market. |

| | XV. THE MARKET: The Characteristics of the Market Economy |
| | The market is the focal point to which the activities of the individuals converge. | | | The market process is the adjustment of the individual actions of the various members of the market society to the requirements of mutual cooperation. | | | The market economy must be strictly differentiated from the second thinkable--although not realizable--system of social cooperation under the division of labor; the system of social or governmental ownership of the means of production. |

| | S/R 37: A Green Economy Cannot Be a Market Economy (Don Fitz) |
| | A market economy is based on corporations, legal entities that own social wealth and compete with each other for profit. | | | A market system means that private corporations are the dominant form of production which determines the direction of the economy. | | | If you are seeing this in the context of a market economy, try imagining total economic failure and the most massive unemployment the world has ever seen. |

| | Market economy and ethics by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) |
| | The result is that broad sectors of the Third World, which at first looked forward to development aid with great hopes, now identify the ground of their misery in the market economy, which they see as a system of exploitations, as institutionalised sin and injustice. | | | Salvation is expected because there is no private control of the means of production, because supply and demand are not brought into harmony through market competition, because there is no place for private profit seeking, and because all regulations proceed from a central economic administration. | | | For a long time, then, business ethics rang like hollow metal because the economy was held to work on efficiency and not on morality. |

| | The State in a Market Economy |
| | In a standard neoclassical model of the economy, there are markets for everything, now and for the future; everybody knows everything, and they know the same things; and there are no public goods, no externalities, no transaction costs, and no increasing returns. | | | Since under these assumptions the market generates the first best allocation of resources, state intervention, in any form or fashion, is but a transfer of income; in turn, transfers of income, by causing rates of return to diverge from the competitive allocation, reduce incentives and misinform about opportunities. | | | Institutions organize all these relations--those that are purely "economic," such as between employers and employees, owners and managers, or investors and entrepreneurs; those that are purely "political," such as between citizens and governments or politicians and bureaucrats, as well as those that structure state "intervention"; and those between governments and private economic agents. |

| | The interventionist state, in the evolution of historical capitalism, has come to be considered the prerequisite for the maintenance of the market economy. | | | Whether in Europe or the United States, the application and practice of the principles of the market economy were subverted from the start with the existence of monetary central planning in the form of central banking. | | | In increasing parts of Asia and South America, liberalized markets and privatization of state enterprises are said to be among the goals of governmental policy. |

| | Let's Try Something Radical. Like a Market Economy |
| | A real market economy also implies a substantial degree of economic equality among its participants—no one of which can be large enough to dominate the others. | | | The market must be comprised of small buyers — and small sellers who compete on the basis of price and service for customer favor. | | | I believe these basic principles of a market economy are highly consonant with the values and vision for a better world that most of us bring to this Summit. |

| | For its market growth to persist, however, local entrepreneurs require the support of a competitive and efficient financial system, one that is impossible under the current system of control. | | | As China continues to move closer to a market-oriented economy, it is increasingly apparent that policymakers must be prepared for the many difficult decisions and reforms that will have to be implemented. | | | According to the World Bank, economic reform has been "piecemeal, partial, incremental, sequential, and often experimental." Behind every reform measure that was approved and implemented, there was intensive debate on the benefits of marketization of the economy and the direction of reforms. |

| | Ten Ethical Objections to the Market Economy - Mises Institute |
| | The market is the resultant of the decisions of all individuals in the society; people can spend their money in any way they please and can make any decisions whatever concerning their persons and their property. | | | Probably the most common ethical criticism of the market economy is that it fails to achieve the goal of equality. | | | Some writers are astute enough to realize that the market economy is simply a resultant of individual valuations, and thus they see that, if they do not like the results, the fault lies with the valuations, not the economic system. |
