What is the difference between a free market and a planned economy?

What will be an ideal response?

Countries have different types of economic systems. A free market economy is one in which resources are primarily owned and controlled by the private sector. In contrast, a planned economy is one in which economic decisions are planned by a central government. While no market is purely free market or planned, the U.S. and the U.K lean toward the free market system, while North Korea is more a planned economy.
