"A market economy is an economic system where decisions regarding investment, production, and distribution are based on the interplay of supply and demand, which determines the prices of goods and services. The major defining characteristic of a market economy is that investment decisions, or the allocation of producer good, are primarily made through capital and financial markets."

The free-market economy is a type of economy in which private people run the business. This system is totally based on private peoples. They are not restricted by the government. They make their own policies and run the business themselves. Many countries follow this system. According to that system, each individual is free for developing business without any limitation. This system proves to be beneficial for the persons that are interested in the field of business.
**Command economy**
"A planned economy is a type of economic system where investment and the allocation of capital goods is determined by an economy-wide plan of production. A planned economy may be based on centralized, decentralized or participatory forms of economic planning."

Command economy is another type of economy that is taken up by the government. This type of economy is completely based on government bodies. All the laws and regulations are generated by the government and execution is also carried out by them. In this system, private peoples are not involved.

A mixed economy is the blend of both free market and command economy. It means government and private people both work simultaneously. Both sectors cooperate with one another to build up country’s economy. In this system, the government makes policies while the private sector follows these policies. Private people work according to these policies.
Private people execute the orders given by the government. Most of the countries are adopting this system of economy. Pakistan and USA are one of those countries that follow this system. This system is good for both sectors.

Economy brings favorable changes in the society. This benefits the people in believing others abilities. People understand the worth of each other. People realize that they need each other. One person needs the abilities of other because one man is not capable of doing all jobs. The worth of fellows increases because one man is nothing without the other. All there is co-operative understanding. People cooperate with one another as it is good for both.
