Discussion Topic Economics affects nearly everything we do
in some way. Someone else has produced
most items we consume, or use, in our daily
lives, from food to clothes to music to gas for

these goods and services? What determines
the price that's on the price tag? What goes
into determining, or setting, that price?
Consider all the possible elements that could
influence the prices you pay.
