A 'black market' is a market in goods or services which operates outside the formal one(s) supported by established state power. Typically the totality of such activity is referred to with the definite article as a complement to the official economies, by market for such goods and services, e.g. "the black market in bush meat" or the state jurisdiction "the black Market in China". Although markets in the regular economy are not given a "white" attribute, markets that have borderline status are called "grey".
