| most people do drugs cos their just plain bored or "everyone's doing it"..
and to me atleast, its a case of the poor exploiting the rich. this does not fall under the premise of general economic prinicples. because once one is addicted (the consumer) the consumer does not have the choice nor does he/she have the power to make rational decisions about the purchase (from the supplier). in any economic projection it is generally assumed that the buyer (consumer) has the advantage in choosing the product, which is not the case in a peddlar selling to a junkie.
iv been trying to think of more examples of the poor exploiting the rich.. but cant come up with any(apart from begging, which isnt a transaction anyways.)
anyone? |
