Most countries exhibit a mix of flexible market and command economy qualities. Even those with limited government regulation still have some point of intervention. The countries that rank first in the indices of economic freedom, based on similar points to loose markets, such as low taxes and minimum regulations, are Singapore, Switzerland and Ireland.
The opposite of a flexible market is a planned economy or a command economy. In such an economic system, the government controls the maximum or all of the production and distribution of wealth. The government can also dictate the costs of goods, services, and labor. .
Examples of voluntary exchanges abound in daily life in the United States. For example, you can stop by a coffee shop every morning. The shop owner can freely set their prices. As a consumer, you can freely make or not make a purchase.
