Discuss how our system is free market (or not) and why. Also compare and contrast our system to those of other countries' systems. Support your discussion with facts, not opinion, and cite your sources.
*Answer:
Typically, it is said that US economy is market based economy or it follows market system where all economic decisions are taken by the market forces of demand and supply. Government does not play active role in economic decision making in pure market economy.
