Green Bridge Learning Resource For The Role Of Markets In Allocating Resources

Overview

When you buy a snack, stream a song or take a bus, you are stepping into a market. A market is simply any arrangement that brings buyers and sellers together so they can trade. No single person plans it, yet markets quietly answer the great questions of what gets produced and who gets it.

In this lesson you will learn exactly what economists mean by a market, meet the many shapes markets take, from a street stall to a global currency exchange, and see how the choices of buyers and sellers feed into the circular flow of income that keeps an economy moving.
