When money interferes in a relationship, it changes the dynamic. Social norms and market rules come into conflict. For example, imagine a couple on a date, and when the man takes the woman home, he says, “I spent $100 on you today.” Suddenly, a romantic relationship shifts into a market transaction. Messages like “Next time, it’s your turn to pay” and “I did this for you today” appear. The benefits of social norms differ from those of market rules. Both are necessary, but the relationship is affected by when, how, and to whom they are applied. A person who fails to strike a balance between these two aspects risks damaging relationships and harming communities. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In a market economy , ‘ price ’ is determined by supply and demand . Producers supply and consumers demand, and the compromise between them is price. However, the price determined by supply and demand is not always beneficial to both producers and consumers. The price formed in the market is distorted by various factors, and the imbalance that occurs at these times results in a loss for some and a benefit for others. Wealth transfer occurs when there is an imbalance in the price of a good or service. Price imbalance necessitates an understanding of the essence of the market that forms between supply and demand, and it is a fundamental virtue for entrepreneurs to develop an ability to recognize bubbles and undervaluation of value . - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
