market

A market is a conceptual or physical space where buyers and sellers interact to exchange goods, services, or assets for money or other forms of compensation.

It encompasses mechanisms for determining prices, facilitating transactions, and communicating information related to supply and demand.

Markets can be structured formally, with established rules and regulations, or informally, driven by spontaneous interactions.

They play a crucial role in the allocation of resources, shaping economies, and influencing societal and individual wealth.
