The theory behind a market economy is that the market will respond to changes in demand with changes in supply.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An example of a market economy is the United States. In a market economy the resources of a country are owned and controlled by the people of the country, rather than the government. It has little to no government involvement when determining prices.
