market mechanism

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

market mechanism

Way in which the forces of demand and supply allocate resources through a system of markets. Customers send signals to producers through their spending. Producers who fail to supply goods which customers want to buy will be forced to produce more successful lines or go out of business. In a free enterprise economy, most resources are allocated via the market mechanism.
