Equilibrium
In economics, equilibrium is achieved where demand and supply are matched. Typically the equilibrium is achieved through a relative price (price, wage, interest rate). For the goods market, for instance, in equilibrium the amount that consumers want to consume at the equilibrium price matches exactly the amount that producers want to produce for the same price.
