How are prices determined differently in a free-market economy versus a command economy?

In a command economy, the government makes many economic decisions, including setting or controlling prices. In a free-market economy, prices generally emerge from supply and demand as buyers and sellers interact in the market. Therefore, the correct choice is “In a command economy, the government controls prices, while in a free-market economy, the market controls prices.”
