I haven’t incorporated supply/demand curves into the blog before simply because they didn’t seem highly germane to any particular past posting. But this time they did.
I realize I perhaps should have done so with a caveat, so belatedly here it is: My goal in introducing supply/demand curves was because of their explanatory power; I was attempting to elucidate with concision concepts that otherwise would require paragraphs and paragraphs of narrative. But I also realize they can be off-putting to the uninitiated. (I will promise never to introduce any equations!)
So, for the record: If at any time any economic, financial, statistical, or other business or legal concepts that I discuss seem unclear or arcane, email me! I will be more than happy to try to clarify, simplify, or even (and this is where reader feedback is truly amazing) rethink what I originally said. The “Email Me” link is there for a reason; use it.
