Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Many economists argue that a pure market economy cannot come about because people will always have incentives to use coercion (Cowen and Sutter, 2005; Holcombe, 2004). This working paper maintains that these economists leave out an important factor in social change.

Detailed explanation-2: -The disadvantages of a market economy include monopolies, no government intervention, poor working conditions, and unemployment.

Detailed explanation-3: -In such an economy, the government serves no role in regulating or supporting markets or firms. In reality, no country is purely capitalist and no country has a purely free market–there is some sort of combination of markets and regulation, with different countries falling at different places on the spectrum.
