Governments may choose to increase minimum wage on an arbitrary basis, making it difficult for companies to hire individuals at a consistent market rate.

This theory allows individuals and businesses to make decisions based on self-interest. Businesses often pay individuals a wage based on current market standards.
Prices influence what consumers want and how they are regulated. Team B also learned about a market where economic forces function unrestrained, also known as the perfectly competitive market according to Colander (2010).
How does Adam Smith's concept of the invisible hand explain why markets move toward equilibrium? Do market participants need to know about the invisible hand for it to function? Explain your answer. Answer: Adam Smith’s concept of the invisible hand explains why markets move toward equilibrium because it allows consumers to freely choose what to buy and producers to choose freely what to sell and ultimately how to product it. It is important for market participants to know how the invisible hand functions so they can all benefit by understanding how self-interest regulates the markets supply and demand.

Individuals can compete against others to provide the best goods and services, at a price people are willing to pay. Those who do are likely to succeed, those who do not will eventually fail and leave the marketplace (Diffen). Capitalists believe that society is better off with the free market determining economic winners and losers rather than the government. Capitalist systems general goal is low taxes.
Microeconomics Final Project Part 10 The different projects helped me learn important material throughout this course. Key materials and concepts I learned will benefit me in the future. Some of those concepts covered such as; the different economies and how they function, how supply and demand work and how one affects the other, how and why taxes are imposed, international trade, total utility and how it is calculated and how we can predict how a consumer might spend their money based off this, as well as fixed and variable inputs that help determine relationships between, for example, the amount of employees and goods produced as more employees are added and how the law of diminishing returns applies to this. There are different economies
For these reasons, it is necessary to analyze the competitive advantage of the different options presented. • Strengths and Opportunities: The project evaluation should consider a SWOT analysis of each potential application, which allows identifying the strengths, opportunities, threats and weaknesses. This way, it is possible to choose the best option, which maximized the firm’s strengths and opportunities, while mitigating its threats and weaknesses. • Barrier to Entry: Also it is necessary to analyze the cost of enter to the industry. • Economic Benefit: What will be the earnings associated to the project.. • Customer Preferences Bernstein should recommend to the board the
• If cartel organizations can develop strategies to monitor one another to deter cheating. • If cartel organizations can come up with a variety of interventions to increase barriers to entry. • When the cartels can increase the market price without facing any stiff competition from the non-cartel members. • When the market conditions are right and the demand and supply is not too elastic. • Cartel success also depends on a number of other factors: the rate at which technology changes, the homogeneity of member firms and how good the members at making and accepting decisions.
However, you need to understand the basic terms and thought, then you also able to be applied to specific conditions in economic thinking. In other words, you have to improve your skills think like an economist. The author of Freakonomics positively shows the reader how to improve his thinking skills to think like an economist. If morality symbolizes how people want the world to work, economy symbolizes how the actually works. According to the authors: “It is well and good to opine or theorize about a subject, as humankind is wont to do, but when moral posturing is replaced by an honest assessment of the data, the result is often a new, surprising insight.” The research in Freakonomics shows that economic and social issues that often difficult, but not impossible, to quantify.
If you want to know what is happening in the world, you need to understand economics. Understanding economics is valuable because it helps us to develop strategies that manage scarcity. Policies hinge on normative issues, however, if economists architect policies aimed at achieving goals set by policy makers, their pursuit can be positive in nature. We can assess policies by how well they achieve goals, but positive economics cannot define whether any goal is good or bad. The interactions of positive theory, empirical facts, normative goals, and economic policies are multifarious.
