Hey, I'm desperate about an economics problem: Demand function: 10-2x=P Marginal costs: 5 Where is the market equilibrium? At what price and quantity does the polypolist maximize its profit? Prove that in a polypoly, marginal revenue = marginal cost = price.
Hello, I need to describe this graph in detail. Could someone help me? I can say that it is a graph that shows how an economy might perform. Do I also need to mention how the x/y axes are labelled? If so, can someone explain to me why the x axis is labelled GDP. Next,…
I have to enter my IBAN to ride the TIER e-scooter, but it says something like this: "I authorize TIER to charge this card" what does that mean?
It is an introduction for a presentation that I gave to three teachers I have to present. The topic is current inflation. I'm very unsure about how to write an introduction. Some help with wording would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

In a fair world, the seamstress in Bangladesh would have to enjoy the same standard of living as the buyers of the shirts she makes. But that wouldn't mean she would become significantly richer. It would just mean everyone else would become much poorer.
It would be significantly cheaper. Extremely disproportionate profits are generated in the pharmaceutical industry alone.
The medication itself costs a few cents + packaging and is then resold for 20-30€ or more.
That is simply the result of capitalism.
Everything you can buy is usually overpriced.
In restaurants you pay the 10 price, you pay for the service.
In the supermarket, everything is cheap in production, packaging, processing, and shipping, but expensive in retail.
Sure, we have an energy crisis now, but things weren't any better before.
+ Inflation.
I have friends and family all involved in the pharmaceutical and wholesale industries.
You can get rich as a middleman.
Go to any producer, take his product, process it and sell it, you'll get rich.
Maybe it's enough to just sell the product, like dropshipping.
What capitalism has done is abnormal.
But these profits are only achieved through the masses. I know an association and its employees who sell fair trade products. However, they usually cost two to three times as much as those in the supermarket. And they don't make any profit.
It depends on what you define as a fair world… However, I think it would be possible to fulfill needs. These needs would become cheaper and of higher quality, since market competition pushes everyone to fulfill the most and best needs. Ultimately, it may of course be the case that some needs cannot be fulfilled, but there would always have to be a "yet" (not yet) between the two.
Market competition is the cause of exploitation in order to be able to produce more cheaply than the competition
If you define exploitation as the optimization of utility and resources, then "exploitation" can't be so bad after all!
