In a command economic system or planned economy, the government controls the economy. The state decides how to use and distribute resources. The government regulates prices and wages; it may even determine what sorts of work individuals do. Socialism is a type of command economic system. Historically, the government has assumed varying degrees of control over the economy in socialist countries. In some, only major industries have been subjected to government management; in others, the government has exercised far more extensive control over the economy. The classic (failed) example of a command economy was the communist Soviet Union. The collapse of the communist bloc in the late 1980's led to the demise of many command economies around the world. According to the passage, why is it unusual for a country to have a command market in today’s society?

The failure of the Soviet Union proved to the world that command markets do not work.

A command market allows too much freedom for private businesses.

A command economy depends on bartering and most societies do not barter anymore.

Government distributions of resources allowed for too much competition between businesses.

Which statement best describes a free market economy?
