Abstract
We stated earlier that market prices are determined by both demand and scarcity. In this chapter we will explore the determinants of consumer and producer demand, and show how this demand affects commodities differently. Let’s begin with the nature of a demand curve, and differentiate between the demand by an individual and the demand for an entire market.
