In theory this means that the producer gets to decide what to produce, how much to produce, what to charge customers for those goods, what to pay employees, etc., and not the government. These decisions in a market economy are influenced by the pressures of competition, supply and demand.

Market economy is also contrasted with mixed economy where there are market operations though the markets system is not entirely free but under some government
