In the game's words
How to use it
Markets are a place to improve your colony's gatherers, buy resources, or sell surplus resources. A number of economic improvements are available here in each Age that can affect the rate at which gatherers collect Wood, Food, and Coin, or even how hardy and resistant to attacks your gatherers are, though nothing makes them as effective in combat as even the weakest military unit. You can buy or sell Wood and Food for the amount listed, and the Coin you earn or the Wood and Food you buy will show up in your resource stockpile. If you buy at the Market, you drive prices up; if you sell at the Market, you drive prices down. Any player can affect the prices listed, though you can only buy or sell resources at your own Market.
History
A market provides a location to bring together buyers and sellers to trade. Ideally, prices are set by supply and demand. Markets were composed of stalls where vendors would sell their wares. Often people wouldn't pay with money, but would barter by offering a service in return for whatever they needed. As cities grew larger, stores replaced the open marketplaces, and money became a more common form of currency.
