Chapter 1 The Only Natural Economy 1. Market transaction: an exchange that is voluntary: each party can veto it, and (subject to the rules of the marketplace) each freely agrees to the terms. A market is a forum for carrying out such exchanges. 2. Three categories of nonmarket activity: - Unpaid work inside households. - Government activities such as building roads and supplying schools and the police force.
