Explain the laws of supply and demand.
What will be an ideal response?
The law of demand tells us that people will buy more of something the cheaper it is and less of it the more expensive it is. The law of supply says that producers of goods and services are willing to produce more of a particular good or service as its price increases and less of it as its price goes down. Together, these two economic principles should regulate the free capitalist market, ensuring that as consumer demand for a good goes up, more of that good will be supplied, and the price will rise until it hits a point at which consumers are unable or unwilling to purchase the good, at which time the demand will drop, the price will fall, and less of the good will be supplied.
