Explanation
In a free market economy, individuals and businesses have stronger incentives to innovate and create new products or services due to competition and profit motives. Planned economies typically lack these incentives because the government controls production and distribution. While planned economies may aim for full employment or provide public goods, innovation is more characteristic of free markets.
