What is the main difference between command and market economies? 1. In a command economy only, the government owns most of the businesses and means to make money.

2. In a market economy, the government decides the prices to make sure everyone has equal ability to pay for
items; in a command economy, all items are provided.

3. A command economy is reflective of government regulation, while a market economy is reflective of what
consumers want and need.

4. Competition only hurts the market economy as companies change prices and goods to meet consumer wants.
