- Wow, I've been working all day and I'm so tired, but I know this will pay off. It's simple economics! If I make the product scarce, the price will skyrocket. This will be a monopoly for me which means that I can control the price and exploit buyers.

- Yes!! My plan worked! It's simple economics. If there is a shortage of a good, the price will increase. The benefit of a monopoly is that you can exploit buyers and they have no choice but to pay that price! That's why I increased my price to $10!!

- It's all about economics! Let me explain...
- Hey, excuse me Mr Gupta. How did you manage to become so successful?
- Stonks!
- Пързалка: 10
- You see, when supply exceeds demand, prices plummet. But by controlling the supply, I created scarcity, driving up demand.

- This is the principle of monopoly. When a single seller dominates the market, dictating prices and quantity. There are 2 main types of monopolies, natural and regular. Natural is when there is no space for another seller or the market simply cannot support 2 sellers. A regular monopoly takes place when the dominating seller eliminates the competition, just like I did! (Let's find someplace more private.)

- By monopolizing the seashell market, I was able to set higher prices, increasing my profits. Since you know how a regular monopoly works, let me explain how a natural works in depth. Let's say that you're selling a product for a very specific target audience where demand is already very low. If another producer enters the market, the demand will be split and it'll be a loss-loss since you will not have enough to break even with your variable cost. One of you will have to exit the market in order to thrive. This is called a natural monopoly

- I utilized the natural resource of the beach (land), my own effort in collecting seashells (labor), the mollusks effort of forming the seashell and my effort of collecting is technically applicable here too since thats all the tools and building it requires (capital) and my entrepreneurial skills to establish and manage the business.
