- Too “Complex”?: Part II
- Too “Complex”?: Part III
Let’s face it. Supply and demand will never replace “need” and “greed” in political discussions of economic issues.
Talking about the “need” for more affordable housing or more affordable medical care is what will get politicians more votes this election year.
Voters don’t want to hear about impersonal things like supply and demand. They want to hear about how their political heroes will stop the villains from “gouging” them or “exploiting” them with high prices.
Moral melodrama is where it’s at, politically.

Discordo. Se analisarmos de uma forma puramente economia, os dois termos encontram-se. Sendo que, numa espécie da interpolação “need” reflete a “demand” popular e “supply” por sua vez a “greed” política (ou o que eles têm por ofereçer); portanto há sim um meio-termo onde quer a Economia e o Populismo, se fundem.
