How can law of demand and supply help you in your economic life?

As a consumer, the law of supply and demand affects our everyday life. The food we eat are subject to the same law, that at higher prices, producers are willing to offer more products for sale than at lower prices. We can only substitute the brand or prefer the lower price if there is no change in quality.

How would a block on the trade of these goods affect your life?

A block on the trade of essential goods would likely lead to shortages, increasing prices and making everyday items less accessible. This could strain my budget, forcing me to prioritize basic needs over discretionary spending. Additionally, it might disrupt supply chains, resulting in delays or unavailability of certain products, which would affect my daily routine and overall quality of life.


What are examples of inelastic goods?

Inelastic goods are those that we have to buy no matter what the price goes up to. For example gasoline, we can cut back but we have to have the gasoline at some point for our cars. Heating oil for our homes is another example. When there is no substitute for a product and it is necessary for everyday life it is inelastic. How about health care? Can we survive without a heart transplant, or a life saving operation?
