Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Market economies utilize private ownership as the means of production and voluntary exchanges/contracts. In a command economy, governments own the factors of production and set prices and production schedules. In a market economy, prices are set by supply and demand.

Detailed explanation-2: -The major difference between a command economy and a market economy is that a command economy the government controls what is produced and how it will be shared and in a market economy people have more freedom and can make their own decisions.

Detailed explanation-3: -A command economy is an economy in which the market system is fully controlled by the government, in contrast to a free market economy, which is a market system in which the pricing of goods and services is primarily determined by the sellers and buyers, and is therefore based on demand and supply.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a command economy, economic decisions concerning production and pricing rest with a central authority, such as a government. A market economy promotes free competition among market participants. Notable benefits of a market economy are increased efficiency, production, and innovation.

Detailed explanation-5: -A command economy, also known as a planned economy, is one in which the central government plans, organizes, and controls all economic activities to maximize social welfare.
