Portuguese term or phrase: Vontade da Economia
Prezados Colegas,

Gostaria de saber a melhor tradução, do português para o inglês, da expressão VONTADE DA ECONOMIA no seguinte contexto:
"Preço: "É VONTADE DA ECONOMIA. Seu conceito está intimamente ligado à ideia de venda, no sentido econômico, como fonte de entradas financeiras, decorrentes da transferência de bens a título oneroso."
Desde já agradeço sua valiosíssima ajuda!!

Will of the Market
Explanation:
Literally the phrase would be "Will of the Economy". However, it doesn´t sound good in English, and as we are talking about Preço, in any competitive economy, it depends on the "Will of the Market", i.e. supply and demand.

market driven


Explanation:
This seems to sum up the idea that external forces are at work. (Quite possibly from the dark side...)

Com a expressão, o autor quer dizer simplesmente que preços são fixados com base nas forças econômicas (de mercado) em vigor, e não em considerações escolásticas sobre o "preço justo".
