The object of research is formation of a market economy. The formation of a market economy is characterized by complex and contradictory relationships, the management of which requires the continuous improvement of methods of economic analysis and development of new methods for processing and systematizing analytical information in accordance with international and national standards. One of the most problematic places in the study is the correct interpretation of the concept of a market economy, taking into account its disadvantages: stratification of society, rising unemployment, deterioration of public goods. In the course of the study, the following methods were used: analysis and synthesis, logical generalization, analogies, comparative comparisons, monographic and graphoanalytical methods. This will allow in the long term to eliminate the incorrect interpretation of the term of the market economy, and also to eliminate the disadvantages: stratification of society, rising unemployment and others. Correct interpretation of the term "market economy", in the opinion of the authors, is obtained, as well as the impact on economies of countries that have switched to a market economy.
