we know that in a market society the consumer decides what will be produced. why is it, then, that our market society uses some of its resources for producing dump trucks, jack hammers and widget making machines? what consumer would want to purchase that stuff? group of answer choices this is the exception to the general rule concerning the market society. since no consumer in his right mind would spend money for these items, even though they are needed, we must rely on government to provide these for us. most of these capital goods are imported. therefore we don't have to worry about producing them here. as a result, we are free to spend our money on consumer goods.
