Does the government really control the prices of consumer products? Scholars look into the concept of price signals and how they relate to the overall buying and selling power in a market economy. The 12th lesson of a 21-part Economic Lowdown podcast series challenges scholars to interpret the idea of demand. They investigate the impact of people spending more on something than they did before and look into price gouging as well as other unfair practices.
