That statement is incorrect.

A "pure command" (or centrally planned) economy is one in which the government, not private markets, makes virtually all economic decisions — what to produce, how much, prices, and allocation of resources. In contrast, a "pure market" economy would be one with little or no government control, where private individuals and firms make those decisions.

Key points:
- Pure command = extensive/complete government control and ownership of resources.
- Pure market = minimal or no government intervention.
- Real-world examples often cited for command economies include the Soviet Union and North Korea; true "pure" command or pure market economies rarely exist — most countries operate mixed economies with varying degrees of government involvement.
