    Economics is Fun, Part 2: Price

    Yesterday we saw in Economics is Fun, Part 1: Value that value is subjective. Today we look at price. What are prices? Where do they come from?

    That guy seems to really enjoy making this series. I wonder if there was a second bottle of wine on his desk before the start of filming?

    Great example of the two kings who reacted to the famine in separate ways. I never really thought of free market versus price controls in that manner but it makes sense. It's a good argument for the drug pricing conversation we were having over at FFA.

    Economics bores me to tears. I have to agree with you, MMC.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I think is my favorite smiley. Anyhow, enough silliness, this thread is about ECONOMICS.
