Here’s a very good introductory article on the topic of price. In particular, the focus here is on how the average person’s attitude toward price actually hurts the average person’s chances of getting what he actually wants. I should note too that the government subsidies this article refers to come in many hidden forms. Food prices at the grocery store are not merely cheaper because of direct crop subsidies. They are cheaper because of all types of hidden subsidies related to everything from a centrally controlled interest rate on borrowing (thus reducing the cost of large capital outlays) to the subsidy granted by regulations (thereby hindering competition by new entrants) to the labor subsidy provide to corporations by the existence of a property tax ( a property tax makes it necessary for small holders to obtain income outside the property in order to keep it). What are your thoughts on this article?
