Markets VS. Ethics

Chapter 4 regarding supply and demand is by far the most important chapter in ALL of economics. The content and material are not difficult but do require you to think intuitively and perhaps a bit “outside the box”. Markets are competitive, we want that. Consumers are sovereign, this means we get the best price for the best product. This is what economics studies, how to best allocate scarce resources and meet the greatest amount of wants and needs.

Alas, we struggle within the economics disciplines sometimes to intertwine the issue of ethics because consumers constantly are demanding more products for a lower price. Sometimes, in order to solidify consumer demand, and hence, profits some practices and protocol may be deemed unethical.
