Alan’s saddles makes high level seats for racing bicycles and sells to many of the top bicycle manufacturers. there are eight available sources of the type of rubber that alan’s uses; however, they have always dealt with a company in the republic of anaerobia exclusively. your company has a contract with alan’s for 10,000 seats. you have just received a letter from alan’s explaining that due to turmoil in anaerobia, their supplier cannot export their product so alan’s cannot complete the contract

Your company can sue for breach because if the raw materials are reasonably available from another source, Alan's cannot be discharged due to impracticality.

The contract has not specified that Alan's company had to get the materials exclusively from Republic of Anaerobia, if he had specified that, there would be no problem at all.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
