ECONOMICS

A Short Story

Two traders sold the same product in the same market. One made huge profits while the other struggled. Why? The successful trader understood demand, pricing, competition, and customer behaviour. Economics helps us understand how people, businesses, and governments make decisions when resources are limited.
