consumer sovereignty| Situation where consumers decide what is to be produced by producers. In a market economy, this is achieved through companies being forced to compete to attract the spending of consumers. The opposite of consumer sovereignty is producer sovereignty, the situation where producers decide what consumers can buy. In a market economy, this could be the result of monopoly power, or the use of advertising which manipulates the desires of consumers for products. |
