Generally, the US government allows for the market to act unimpeded unless it causes serious social losses. For example, the government intervenes and regulates in cases of lack of competition, imperfect information, dangerous production or distribution, and externalities.

What the government role in the market economy?

AnswerA market economy is one that is traditionally FREE from government interference, however it does require government assistance to function. This could be through facilitating privatized organizations through funds and R&D (Research & Development), deregulating the market and the rules of foreign trade or improving foreign relations in order to open up more opportunities for a prosperous economy. The government is allowed to be a PART of the market economy, and its institutions and organizations fall under the public sector of the market economy. AnswerThe phase "Market Economy" is inexact, as it covers a wide variety of different forms of economic theory, which vary considerably on the role that government is to play. Generally speaking, there are two major forms of Market Economy which people are concerned with: a True Free Market (sometimes just shortened to "Free Market"), and a Mixed Market. The TFM is a theoretical construct, as it has not proved possible to implement in the real world; rather, it exists as an ideal to be striven for, according to proponents. All existing Market economies are what economists call a Mixed Market Economy.
