2. market economy 市场经济 A market economy is an economy in which the prices of goods and services are determined in a free price system. This is often contrasted with a fixed price system. Market economies can range from hypothetically pure laissez-faire variants to an assortment of real-world mixed economies, where the price system is under some government control or heavily regulated. The state-led economic planning is not extensive enough to be labeled a planned economy. In the real world, market economies do not exist in pure form, as societies and governments regulate them to varying degrees rather than allow self-regulation by market forces. The term free-market economy is sometimes used synonymously with market economy, but, as Ludwig Erhard once pointed out, this does not preclude an economy from having socialist attributes opposed to a laissez-faire system. 商务英语综合教程 ISBN：978-7-81134-- 2011年11月 第2版 Unit 6 A Changing China in a Changing World Introduction China is a developing country and it will take the strenuous efforts of several and even a dozen generations before China can truly achieve modernization. To enable the 1.3 billion people to live a comfortable life, we must focus all our time and energy on development. We will seek a peaceful international environment to develop ourselves and at the same time contribute to the cause of world peace through our own development. This is a strategic choice that China has made. It is a choice rooted in China’s own interests as well as the long-term interests of the whole world.
