Choice, Utility, and Demandhttp://mises.org/podcasts/austrian-economics-introductory-course/1-choice-utility-and-demand1Murray N. RothbardFri, 12 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0600113578Economics begins with the concepts of scarcity and choice. If there was no scarcity it would all be free. Resources like time and materials need to be allocated to economically feasible uses. This will depend on the consumers' demand for the final product.

RothbardSat, 20 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0600113582Advertising has always had bad press with economists, but consumers discover that a product either works and works well, or it doesn't. Consumer wants are not artificially created by business itself. Advertising as a selling cost seemed evil. The free market benefits every participant. But intervention benefits one group at the expense of another. Political advertising - propaganda - gets a free pass.

RothbardSat, 20 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0600113583Price controls — triangular interventions — occur when an intervener (generally government) either compels a pair of people to make an exchange or prohibits them from making an exchange. Although ludicrous, price controls are instituted because a product appears to be in short supply, e.g. oil — while price controls create artificial shortages of the product. The conservation movement ties in with the attack on comfort and consumption and humans in general.
