  1. A free market system is characterized by a lack of regulations on autonomy and property rights. A market is free in inverse proportion to the presence of taxes, tariffs, subsidies, regulations, bans, barriers, and quotas.

    The main sign of a free market is a chronic labor shortage. Free markets tend to have more jobs than there are people to fill them.


  2. The main characteristic of a free market is that buyers and sellers decide the prices and output of goods and services by mutual consent. This is what we refer to as supply (sellers) and demand (buyers).

    This is in contrast to a controlled or command-style economy, where a central authority directs how much of a product is produced and what price it sells at.

    Other characteristics of a free market system include:

    -property rights

    -free competition

    -minimal government regulation
