Supply and demand. Supply and demand determines the prices of goods and services in the market.
The relative scarcity of a product affects the pricing in a free market system since surplus of a product leads to low prices. A reduction in supply will lead to high prices of a product because people may be willing to pay more to have it.

Prices in a free market are a measure of scarcity and desirability. Something that is scarce and desirable - gold, for example - will have a high price. Something that is common but still desirable - bread or beef - will have a lower price. As the scarcity or desirability of an item increases, the price will increase.
Prices can rise for various reasons. However, they usually go up when demand increases, or if there is a condition that causes a scarcity of resources.
The Market Revolution made more goods available for sale, which lowered prices.
Scarcity could lead to increased costs of living in a country. If there are scarce goods and services, there will be high demand since the needs and wants of people are usually unlimited. Firms will then take advantage of the high demands and push up the prices of their goods leading to inflation.
Inflation
A free market economy is a market based one. The prices of goods and services are determined independently in a free market.
