All economists learn at an early stage about free and controlled markets. An open economy is a market where the price of goods is determined completely by the decisions of buyers and sellers and based around the principle of supply and demand. Free Markets follow the ideal of 'laissez faire' which proposes the concept of restricting government intervention in economic matters including determining the prices of goods by varying tax levels for example. Therefore with government intervention limited free markets are able to thrive and provide the goods and services needed by the economy. Following on from the idea of the free market is that of the invisible hand. This states that individuals who act in their own self interest promotethe good of the entire community through the principle that an individual trying to maximise his profits will also increase the totalrevenue of the society.
