Why do you think that Zola made the new food markets of Paris the backdrop to this story? Is the food market a significant character in the novel and if so, how? What is the relationship between a major metropolis and its source/s of food?

A market is one of a composition of systems, institutions, procedures, social relations or infrastructures whereby parties engage in exchange. While parties may exchange goods and services by barter, most markets rely on sellers offering their goods or services (including labour power) in exchange for money from buyers. It can be said that a market is the process by which the prices of goods and services are establish. Markets facilitate trade and enable the distribution and resource allocation in a society. Markets allow any trade-able item to be evaluate and price. A market emerges more or less spontaneously or may be construct deliberately by human interaction in order to enable the exchange of rights (cf. ownership) of services and goods.

The exchange of goods or services, with or without money, is a transaction.
