The “market” is at once a concept and a place; both deal with the reality of exchange based on prices, whereby goods or services (i.e., labor) could be exchanged for money (which in ancient Egypt meant silver, copper, oil, grain, or other commodities, assigned values in weights of silver). The market determined prices and human behavior.
