Synopsis

Think you understand prices and markets? This book challenges everyday mistakes and shows how true economic thinking works.

This accessible guide points out common errors people make when thinking about money, prices, monopolies, and regulation. It uses plain examples to explain why price is set by supply and demand, not by a supposed natural value, and how competition can sometimes hinder progress rather than help it. You’ll see how biases from different groups can color economic judgments, and how careful reasoning—not shortcuts—leads to better conclusions about markets.

• Why monopolies arise and when regulation is the natural remedy, not a villain or a wasted effort.


• How the law of supply and demand really works, and why “natural price” isn’t a fixed rule.


• Common traps like bucket shops, margin trading, and the idea that labor and capital always share a harmonious fate.


• Practical advice on avoiding oversimplified conclusions and improving economic judgment.

Ideal for curious readers, students, and anyone who wants clearer, more reliable thinking about money and markets.
