The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us.
During the night this woman's son died because she lay on him. So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. The next morning, I got up to nurse my son— and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I knew that it wasn't the son I had borne.'
The other woman said, ‘No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours.'

Over two decades from 1990-2013, the value of a New York City taxi medallion rose 720%, making it a better investment than stocks, oil or gold. Today, the price of those medallions has sharply decreased with the introduction of Uber and Lyft. The New York medallion system limits the number of taxis, but each taxi driver can offer as many rides as he or she can manage. (Now you know why New York taxi drivers are so aggressive!). To simplify our analysis, however, we will assume that a medallion system limits the number of taxi rides that can legally be given to 10 million per year. With the Fare (per ride) on the vertical axis and quantity of rides on the horizontal axis, the following information has been provided: Fare Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied $7.00 6…arrow_forward
