Which method does a free-market economy use to encourage economic growth that a command economy does not?

In a free-market economy, supply and demand guide prices. Prices signal what people want and encourage businesses to produce goods and services that can earn a profit, which can promote growth. A command economy instead relies on government plans to set production goals and priorities, so the answer is “the use of supply and demand to determine prices.”
