Talk:Scarcity

Constructed scarcity

I've removed this POV nonsense about constructed scarcity.

Constructed scarcity is a manipulative technique used by global investors and politicians to prop up certain prices, markets or regimes. It can be observed in the global food markets. There is enough food produced on this planet to feed all of the human inhabitants living here, but food rots while children starve, so that the income of food processors and brokers can remain high.

I also removed the distinction between real and constructured scarcity (having majored in econ in college, I would know this distinction if there was in fact one) and tried to add more reasons for scarcity. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:13, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
