--Melonberg (talk) 23:02, 24 August 2016 (CDT)Please note that I am laying out these discussion points as I read the economics sections with the first batch of examples. If I question something that is answered later on, please don't take it too personally, though that may be an indicator that the explanation of things might need to be reordered (or, alternately, that I need to stop being dumb and read contextually before I start asking questions).
