As its name would suggest, a Market Economy is composed of interrelated forces--such as consumers, manufacturers and retailers--that all play a role in generating, or reacting to, demand. That is, a Market Economy is primarily impacted by the demands found within the market rather than external controls, such as political mandates. The Market Economy, in its purest form, is free to react to the changing demands of consumers and provides natural incentives, and rewards, to those who successfully meet these demands. This is in contrast to controlled economies, such as those attempted in the Soviet Union and Communist China, where political authority sought to regulate markets and dictate the priorities, and pace, of production.
