Market

In economics, a market is a social structure developed to facilitate the exchange of rights, services or product ownership. Markets enable peoples' services, firms and products to be evaluated and priced. There are two roles in markets, buyers and sellers. The one side of the market, who is aware of at least two actors on the other side whose offers can be evaluated in relation to each other. A market allows buyers and sellers to discover information and carry out a voluntary exchange of goods or services. This is commonly done through trade. These trades may be handled a variety of ways, but in small market environments, buyers and sellers typically deal in currency, and goods. In everyday usage, the word "market" may also refer to the location where goods are traded, or in other words, the marketplace.
