Someone else has produced most items we consume, or use, in our daily lives, from food to clothes to music to gas for our cars.

But in the United States, the interactions between the consumers and producers determine quite a lot in terms of business and economics. Think about the items and services that you and your family buy or consume. What causes you to pay the prices that you do for these goods and services? What determines the price that's on the price tag? What goes into determining, or setting, that price? Consider all the possible elements that could influence the prices you pay.arrow_forward
