Mechanism (sociology)
In economics, a mechanism is a set of rules designed to bring about a certain outcome through the interaction of a number of agents each of whom maximizes their own utility.[original research?] In the real world,there are two economic mechanisms:market economy and planed economy.Market economy is an economy based on the transaction mechanism and division of labor in which the prices of goods and services are determined in a free price system set by supply and demand.[1] Market economy is often contrasted with a planned economy, in which a central government determines the price of goods and services using a fixed price system.
