You are beginning to see the point. Supply and demand are the big
factors in a capitalistic society. If you do not have an overwhelming
desire to pay an inflated price, then walk away. A person can ask any
amount for their merchandise, and you have the opportunity to accept or
refuse. If there is no demand at that price, there will be no sale.
Also, the honorable and honest thing would be for the seller to ask a
reasonable price. My point is, let the market determine the price, not a
governmental body setting price controls.
IMHO, I would think that some people that work for others would favor the
socialistic approach and entrepreneurs would favor the capitalistic
approach.
