Through price mechanism...
Prices help allocate resources between markets by serving as signals that indicate the relative scarcity or abundance of goods and services. When prices rise, it signals that a particular resource is in high demand and encourages producers to allocate more resources towards producing that good or service. Conversely, when prices fall, it signals that a resource is less in demand and may prompt producers to reallocate resources to other markets where they can earn higher profits. In this way, prices play a crucial role in efficiently allocating resources across different markets based on consumer preferences and market conditions.
