Firms may come to dominate and have monopoly power, leading to higher prices and lower

levels of output.

There may be significant differences in income and wealth, which gives some consumers

much more power than others.

Merit goods, which are socially desirable, may be under-provided and under-consumed.

Demerit goods, which are socially undesirable, may be over-provided and over-consumed.

Public goods, which cannot be easily provided through a market system, may not be

provided at all.

Resources cannot always easily move from one use to another, e.g. labour may not have the

necessary skills and/or information.

Externalities may not be taken into account in consumption and production decisions.
