Efficiency is when a market that is guided by the invisible hand is able to capture all of the possible consumer and producer surplus. When all surplus is realized it is then that we can say a market is efficient. However, efficiency is not the only goal of an economic policy maker. Policy makers are equally as concerned about equality. The benefits in the market from trade can be viewed as a pie. Efficiency determines the size of that pie while equality equates to how the pie is sliced.
