I typed out a longer reply, but my point was that markets have existed much longer than capitalism and does not necessarily equate to a market economy.

I used an example of people advising planners whether they wanted saris or tshirts with votes on their personal preferences (up to an predetermined limit based on the appropriate resource use) and said that this was essentially a market in a broad sense.

I would appreciate any insight you have on what better phrasing would be.
