A market economy is an economic system in which individuals own most of the resources - land, labor, and capital - and control their use through voluntary decisions made in the marketplace. It is a system in which the government plays a small role. In this type of economy, two forces - self-interest and competition - play a very important role.
Command economy is the economy where all economic decisions and details are planned by an authority assigned by the central government. This is the opposite of free market economy.
