If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.

If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbors and some to the local managers of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.When you spend your ine, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas station and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market.
