@Deleted User Hey you brought back my favorite profile pic of yours 😄
> I understand that you as a communist may not understand how the free market works, but it is an amazing tool that allocates resources and preference to the highest ability.
no it's highest bidder cus the def for demand if *the willingness and ability to buy a good/service*
@Revolutionaryarmchair Whats the argument for that?
Therefore whenever you raise prices and the quantity demanded drops, you basically exclude access cus this is often due to high prices acting a barrier to purchase
wtf this is like neo classical
not weird neo wickesslian shit or something
Can you prove demand drops and not just purchases.
you mean a shift in the curve?
Yea prove that an increase in prices drops demand by a significant amount, and not just purchases.
cus the problem with economic *allocative efficiency* under a market is that it presumes that wealth/purchasing power is kinda equal
> Yea prove that an increase in prices drops demand by a significant amount, and not just purchases.
quantity demanded
quantity demanded is a particular point affected by a change in the firm/firms'/supplier's price
Can you cite an actual study or data set and not just a drawn together graph with no backing.
Also this graph does not have anything to do with the demand claim.
are you trolling?

?
wait is someone trying to say that markets allocate resources efficiently?
```Results indicate that mandatory (voluntary) prescriptive policies focused on outdoor watering restrictions achieve approximately a ten percent (three percent) reduction in aggregate demand. Given the inelastic price responsiveness of households, an average price increase of more than 30% would be required to achieve the same ten percent reduction in water use that the prescriptive mandatory policies achieved. This price increase would imply a 20 percent increase in the average customer’s monthly expenditures on water. ```
water is ofc inelastic in PED cus you know
not very much substitutes for water....
@Mou I'm a market socialist but fuck austrians and neo classicals
yikes
market socialists
y i k e s
I'm post lange
markets suck
I prefer like post hungary free capital markets but complete collective ownershi
can't remember the name
but it was two polish economists who came up with a system I quite agree with
> markets suck
in some cases yes
basically externalities and market failure
in all cases
However, behavioral econ shows that traditional neo classical concept of *market failure* is based on bad abstractions and modelling of human behavior
@Revolutionaryarmchair no, i said is ausfix trolling
oh yea feeewh
cus I actually take econ
markets assign shit based on capital instead of need and therefore suck shit
