Market/tradeoff?

Question

in a market economy can you do a tradeoff?...

Answer 1

There is always a trade off in the market place. If you do not buy one brand of a product, you buy an alternate brand. Or we trade off convenience to support our values. For example, we may use products that are more environmentally friendly, but take some preparation to use or cost a little more. The trade off is worth it to us because of a higher goal.
