	Supply and demand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The theory of supply and demand is important for some economic schools' understanding of a market economy in that it is an explanation of the mechanism by which many resource allocation decisions are made.
		Even with downward-sloping demand curves, it is possible that an increase in income may lead to a decrease in demand for a particular good, probably due to the existence of more attractive alternatives which become affordable: a good with this property is known as an inferior good.
		The application of supply and demand concepts in macroeconomics is somewhat complicated by the fact that supply and demand analytical concepts are often predicated on the notion of a stable unit of account via which prices can be observed.

	Supply-side economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Supply-side economics is a school of macroeconomic thought which emphasizes the "supply" part of "supply and demand." The central concept of supply-side economics is Say's Law: "supply creates its own demand," or the idea that one must produce before one has the means to buy.
		To a Keynesian managing the aggregate demand for goods and services (typically via interest rates) is regarded as appropriate, whilst for a supply-sider ensuring an appropriate supply of currency to meet the prevailing demand for goods and services is appropriate.
		Supply-Side economics developed during the 1970s of the Keynesian dominance of economic policy, and in particular the failure of demand management to stabilize Western economies in the stagflation of the 1970s and in the wake of the oil crisis in 1973.

	A Tale of Two Theories: Supply Side and Demand Side Economics
		Supply Side Economics claimed that if the government cut taxes on the wealthy, it would jump-start the economy as the wealthy plowed their tax savings back into investments.
		Demand Side Economics, says that if taxes are to be cut, they should go to those who earn the least amount of money.
		Demand Side economics, as we saw in the 1990s, while far from perfect, produces robust growth, budgetary surpluses, and broad based prosperity.

	Columbia University - Economics
		Much of the conventional economic wisdom prevailing in financial circles, largely subscribed to as a basis for governmental policy, and widely accepted by the media and the public, is based on incomplete analysis, contrafactual assumptions, and false analogy.
		Most economically desirable investments take considerable time for the anticipated results to be reflected in the capital markets, and the promise of a tax concession to be effective in a remote future and subject to possible alteration by future legislatures is likely to be of little weight in the calculation of the investor.
		We will not get out of the economic doldrums as long as we continue to be governed by fallacious notions that are based on false analogies, one-sided analysis, and an implicit underlying counterfactual assumption of an inevitable level of unemployment.

	Fall Semester 2000: Supply-Side University Economics Lesson #1; 09-15-00
		In a general course of introductory economics, there may be a lesson or part of a lesson devoted to some part of supply theory, but even that is often taken out of context and presented with overtones of eccentricity.
		It is the economics of the firm, rather than that of the nation, and we do not involve ourselves in micro economics, except tangentially, because its principles are standard to all schools.
		Supply-side economics does not mean "tax cuts," any more than the demand schools represent "tax increases." The purpose of a political system is to allow all of society a way to determine the level of public goods it wishes and how it should assess members of society in financing those goods.

		In contrast, the market forces affecting the supply and demand of MRI, an established medical modality with widespread acceptance, are not causing the MRI supply and demand lines to shift dramatically to the right.
		Supply and demand are free market forces, but from a practical standpoint, these factors must be viewed in light of government intervention that pervades just about every industry.

	Supply-side Economics
		At the level of policy, this position is associated with demands for a reduction in the role of government as a proportion of total economic activity.
		Typical of this demand is a policy statement by the corporate financed Committee for Economic Development calling for a determined effort "to move toward a phased reduction of the share of government spending in the GNP".
		The very title "supply side" suggests that the real issue separating the new economics from the old Keynesian orthodoxy is a shift in the emphasis of policy from the stimulation of demand to that of supply.

	Supply-Side Economics, by James D. Gwartney: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Supply-side economics provided the political and theoretical foundation for a remarkable number of tax cuts in the United States and other countries during the eighties.
		Supply-side economics stresses the impact of tax rates on the incentives for people to produce and to use resources efficiently.
		An important piece of evidence for the shift in thinking is a 1987 statement by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which had been critical of the supply-side claims and had always assumed in its revenue projections that taxpayers did not respond at all to changes in tax rates.

	OT: Say's Law
		The basis for demand-side economics is that the economy is stimulated and perpetuated by the needs and wants of those with money.
		Supply-side economics is based on the concept that the economy is stimulated by the manufacture of what is needed and wanted.
		Supply-side economics shows that the value of a dollar is arbitrary so that the total amount of money in the economy is equal to the total amount of goods.

	THE RETURN OF DEMAND-SIDE ECONOMICS
		But in any case there is no mistaking the lesson of the terrifying economic and financial events of the last two years - the economic crisis in Asia and its spread to Latin America, the deepening slump in Japan, and the brief but ominous panic that swept world bond markets this past fall.
		Textbook economics might suggest that countries feeling the need to raise interest rates, for whatever reason, could offset the effect on demand by adopting expansionary fiscal policies - raising spending or lowering taxes.
		In short, the reason Depression economics has now reemerged as a real concern is not that governments did not do the right thing, but that they did.

	Laissez-Faire
		Politicians, economists and the media were able to convince the public that the fall in the standard of living and the economic crisis was simply due to the government’s deficit.
		The "theoretical" justification of supply-side economics lies in the Laffer curve, which advocates a decrease in the progressive income tax and in the capital gains tax.
		He certainly did not imagine another laissez-faire model, but probably a system in which economic theory and policy evolve along with capitalism and its institutions, a system where two institutions are deemed necessary in order to "stabilize" the system.

	Demand-Side Dogma - Mises Institute
		The notion that economies, as a whole, sometimes lack sufficient drive derives from a faulty set of economic doctrines that focus on the demand side of the aggregate economy.
		According to Demand Side economics, there are times when total spending in the economy will not be enough to provide employment to all who want to and should be working.
		Keynesian deficient demand arguments hinge upon the absurd proposition that some savings 'leak' out of the economic system, so that there is too little investment.

	Say's Law and Supply Side Economics
		Even today, economics is often still thought of in "underconsumptionist" terms -- not often by economists but frequently in politics and in public debate -- and the Los Angeles Times still prints articles to the effect that the basic problem of economics is "how to achieve sufficient demand to absorb available production" [3].
		"Supply side" economics is now associated with Arthur Laffer and his advice in the late 70's that the highest tax rates should be cut, which would free up private capital and produce economic growth, which then would result in higher tax revenues.
		Thus the Soviet Union reproduced the economic poverty as well as the political privilege of a mediaeval state, even as Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt, with glowing rhetoric about the common man, lodged the wealthiest nation in history in a full decade of unprecedented unemployment.

	Demand-Side Economics
		Inevitably, planners will have to re-think policies predicated on the notion that the thirst for mobility can be addressed only by adding more supply -- more roads, more buses, more mass transit, all requiring billions of dollars of more taxes.
		Acting on the information he supplies them, some people will start their commutes earlier or later in the day than they normally would, spreading demand for road access over time.
		But it may be vastly more economical in urban environments where the cost of acquiring right of way and widening roads can be prodigious.

	Supply-Side Economics
		The fiscal and monetary policies we have discussed thus far focus on the demand side of the economy.
		For example, while the use of expansionist fiscal or monetary policy during a recession may stimulate aggregate demand and initiate an increase in aggregate demand, these policies also tend to be inflationary.
		High inflation rates and poor economic growth persisted throughout the 1970s and conventional fiscal and monetary policy measures were not effective in turning the economy around.
