What aboutText：MarketA market may be defined as a group of people or firms1 who have contact with2 each other3 with the purpose of4 exchanging some goods or services. The term “market” at least5 involves two parties: the sellers and the buyers.Today，with our complex methods of transport and communication，it is not necessary for buyers and sellers to have direct contact with each other, so it is better not to think of a market in terms of6 a particular place. Sellers are the suppliers of something of valuethe supply. The buyers are the demanders of something of valuethe demand. Price is determined by the interaction of supply and demand7. Practically all goods and services have a price. A car has a price; your fathers labor service has a pricehis wage，or salary. We refer to market demand as the total of all the individual demands for a particular commodity. By individual demand we mean the quantity particular individuals are able and willing to purchase in the market at various price levels at a particular point of time8.Changes in demand (increases or decreases) occur with changes in population, wage rates, taxation，fashions，etc.，and mean that more or less of a quantity is demanded at the same price.
