A centrally planned economy opposes individual choice in comparison to a market economy.
In a centrally planned economy, a government entity decides how resources within a society will be distributed. For example, in a perfect centrally planned society, all families with 4 members in the household would receive the exact same products.
However, in a market economy, individuals make decisions for themselves regarding what resources they want/need to purchase. This market economy is based more on the capital (money) that individuals possess.
