MARKET FORCES



A bus is travelling along a mountain road.
The road is on the edge of a high cliff.
The bus carries one hundred passengers.
They are rich and can pay.
Among them is an economist.
He knows the working of market forces.

Suddenly the bus swerves And plunges over the cliff.
The passengers are terrified Except for the economist.
He is not perturbed.
He knows the working of market forces.
He knows that a bus-load of anti-gravity belts will instantly materialise In response to the demand that has just been created.
Market Forces Triumph Once Again!
