The Law of Demand is a book that clearly explains the driving forces of the modern-day economy. The current state of affairs when it comes to trade and the exchange of value is driven by the law of demand. The purpose of this book is to help the reader understand all the underlying principles at the back of this law so that they can gain a much better appreciation for human behavior when it comes to trading, and all matters involving the market economies we currently have.

In this book, you will learn the basics about the law of demand, including the various factors which affect just how much in demand goods and services are at any given point in time, and at any set price. We'll take a close look at the demand curve, as well as how it is applied in day to day transactions. Not shying away from anything contrary to the law of demand, this book takes a critical look at the various exceptions to the law, as well as a critical argument against the current application of the law when it comes to the current theory of price in the economy.

On the flip side of the law of demand is the law of supply, and we take a look at all that the law of supply entails as well, from the basic definition of this law to the assumptions which are held when working with the law of supply. You will also have a firm grasp on the supply curve, and look at it in relation to a monopoly and a market with imperfect or impure competition. There are also exceptions to the law of supply, which we will cover as well. Finally, we'll go over how the law of demand works when it comes to inelastic products and services offered by manufacturers and service providers.

The book you're reading right now will give you the most thorough grasp on the way the world works when it comes to economics, and you will without effort be able to recognize the law of demand at work, on every level possible.

This Earth, the third planet in our Solar system, was formed over four and a half billion years ago. It is the densest of all plants, and the most massive and largest of the known four rocky planets. Our Earth has a total surface area of 510 million km2, of which about 71% is below sea level (i.e. covered with water). This leaves the remaining 29% for the about 7.7 billion people that live upon this Earth.

The prime goal of every living thing upon the face of the Earth is to survive. Whether it is food, water, shelter, security or the wants and needs - each living thing – be it mankind, animals, plants and trees, birds of the air, living things in the ocean – are many and are insatiable.

Focusing on mankind, the 7.7 billion people (and counting) that live on this Earth are spread over seven earth surface areas known as continents. These continents are North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. The land composition and use, physical characteristics, weather, climate, and atmospheric conditions, and natural resources vary considerably from one continent to another.

Considering mineral and natural resources, Africa is reported to be the richest of all the seven continents. Notwithstanding this, no continent has an abundance of every single resource that it needs. In every continent except for Antarctica, there are countries and territories. In the same vein, countries and territories vary in available resources. What a continent or country lacks, another has it in abundance or in excess. It is an obvious fact that no continent, country, or territory has all the resources that its citizens need for survival.

While various natural and mineral resources have been discovered in various parts of the world, some are already being mined, explored, processed, and used in a meaningful and beneficial way. Others are being wasted, while some are not in use at all. What is not needed in one part of the world or in excess in another, is desperately needed in another part of the world. Also, it is a known fact that there are many resources yet to be discovered in every country and continent. Our entire Earth is yet to be 100 percent explored.

So, what are resources and which ones are available in each continent and country? What are their likely uses? In what quantities and forms do these resources exist in those countries and continents? To what extent can these resources be mined, explored, refined, and processed? What is their likely end-products?

These are some of the questions that will be explored in this book. Since no one has it all, knowing about these resources will not only help readers to know where to turn for the resources we need, but it might also help us to manage what we have in a better way.
