Answer: a traditional economy relies on traditions, history, and the family. It usually involves bartering.

A command economy is controlled by government regulations and the government answers all the basic economic questions while in a market economy the consumers (people) drive the production of goods and there are no government regulations. This encourages competition and the goal is profit.
