What is the essential difference between the supply and demand of commodity market under the traditional economy and the network economy?

The connection between market economy and commodity economy is embodied in market mechanism and market system. As far as market mechanism is concerned, commodity economy operates through market mechanisms such as price, supply and demand, wages, interest rate and competition. The meaning of market economy is the way of resource allocation based on market mechanism, and they have the same mechanism. As far as the market system is concerned, with the continuous development of commodity economy, the scope of the market is bound to expand, including not only commodity and material markets, but also capital, technology, labor and land markets, thus forming a complete market system. The formation of market system is not only the result of the development of commodity economy, but also the performance of the development of market economy, both of which have the same internal requirements. Market mechanism and market system belong to the mechanism and means of economic operation, and market economy belongs to the system and mode of economic operation. But these categories are the basic connotation of market economy, which generally reflects the operation process of market economy. Therefore, whether to engage in market economy according to the prevailing social rules is a test of the authenticity and development of this commodity economy.

However, commodity economy is not equal to market economy. Market economy is the product of the development of commodity economy to a certain stage, and it is the manifestation and modern form of developed commodity economy. The difference between the two is mainly manifested in:

First, primitive commodity economy and simple commodity economy, although also a form of commodity economy, are not market economy. Only a commodity economy with a unified market and market system is a market economy. Market economy is a market-oriented commodity economy.

Second, the commodity economy based on small-scale production is not a market economy. Only a commodity economy based on socialized mass production can become a market economy. Market economy is a socialized commodity economy.

Third, in the developed commodity exchange, economic relations are monetized, and financial markets, financial instruments and financial means fully participate in economic operation, thus forming a market economy. It can be said that the market economy is a monetized commodity economy.

Fourth, a country's commodity economy should not be blocked or monopolized, but should be fully open, participate in international exchanges and competition, and integrate into the world economy. Only under the condition of openness can we connect with the world economy and the domestic market with the international market, thus forming a modern market economy. Market economy is an open commodity economy.
