A Good Way to Study Economics#1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I am very rich. Marry me!"
That's Direct Marketing.
#2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your them goes up to her and pointing at you, say, "He's very rich. Marry him."
That's Advertising.
#3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say, "Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me."
That's Telemarketing.
#4. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car)for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say, “By the way, I'm rich. Will you marry me?"
That's Public Relations.
#5. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. She walks up to you and say, “You are very rich! Can you marry me?"
That's Brand Recognition.
#6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I am very rich. Marry me!" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face.
That's Customer Feedback.
#7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, “I am very rich. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband.
That's demand and supply gap.
#8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person comes and tells her, "I'm rich. Will you marry me?" and she goes with him.
That's competition eating into your market share.
#9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say, "I'm rich, marry me!” your wife arrives.
That's barriers to entry.
#10. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, “I am very rich. Marry me!” Another guy with flowers says, “I am richer. Marry me!"
That's absolute advantage.
#11. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm very rich. Marry me!" Her equally gorgeous friend tags along for the rest of the night.
That's economies of scale.
#12. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm very rich. Marry me!" Two years later, you have kids.
That's the multiplier effect.
