Explanation of Concepts |
In a market economy, your opinions count when you cast your dollar “votes” for the goods and services you like best. You express your demand for a product when you are willing and able to purchase it. When someone is willing to pay for a product—the higher the pay, the more you are willing to supply. Supply is the amount of production. When the supply satisfies the demand, the situation is called the equilibrium, and variables such as price and quantity will remain unchanged unless something happens to disturb the system.
