Yes the U.S. can be considered a market economy, because it is run by private companies who choose what to make, how to make it, and who to make it for.
Our ecomony is a true market economy, because we have the right to start a new business, and the government can not control said business.
yes i think the U.S. is a true market economy.
I believe that it can't be a true market economy unless it is only that. The U.S. is also a part capitalist country, therefore it cant be a true market economy because although they are very similar they do also have differences.
Yes, we r a market economy.
i think we are a market economy for the most part, because you can start a new business and buy/sell what you want but there is government control.
