Agorist Thesis #7

Agorist Thesis #7 - Prices are information. 



This is building off the previous theses, that Markets are better at managing and distributing information than any central authority.

Prices are information, they're signals to consumers, entrepreneurs, laborers, - everyone who participates in the market.  They are the information you need in order to make your own subjective judgements as to what to buy and what not to buy, what to sell, what not to sell, what to invest your time into, etc.

Prices affect, and at the same time are an effect of, supply and demand.  If the supply is low and the demand is high, the price will be set higher.  If the price is set low when there is a limited supply and high demand, it will cause the supply to diminish relative to the demand.

Agorist Theses originally from An Agorist Manifesto by Kyle Bennett.
