Who decides what goods services will be produced and sold in the US?
It is mostly the American consumer. The US government also plays a large role in the nation's economy, constituting roughly 36% of GDP - making it the largest and thus most influential economic institution and consumer. Manufacturers or those controlling supply may also manipulate demand through advertising and popular media.
