Lesson 7: Market | Unit 1: The Exchange Page: 1 of 22

Topic: What It Is <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

Market is the term we used to indicate voluntary trades among buyers and sellers. These trade involve a mutually agreeable quantity at a mutually agreeable price.

A definition:

A market is an organized exchange of commodities (including resources, goods, and services) among buyers and sellers, during a given time period.

Four important points about markets.

1. Markets are voluntary trades among buyers who want something (the demand side) and sellers who have something (the supply side).

2. The most important items traded are the goods and services that people consume, and the resources used to produce these goods and services.

3. Markets are the voluntary means of facing the scarcity problem. Government is the involuntary way of the facing scarcity problem.

4. Like demand and supply, markets are analyzed over a given time period.
