Why is a bottle of water $1 at the grocery store but $4 at a concert? How can a viral trend suddenly make a forgotten toy more valuable than the latest gadget? The answer lies in the most powerful duo in economics: demand and supply.

In this second episode of Economics, we dive into the engine room of the market. Host [Host Name] unravels the invisible forces that set the price of everything from your streaming subscription to a gallon of gas. This isn't about abstract graphs; it's the hidden story behind every price tag you see.

We’ll break down:

• The Law of Demand: Why you (and everyone else) are naturally wired to buy more when the price drops.

• The Law of Supply: What motivates producers to bring their goods to the market, and why they need the right incentive.

• The Magic of Equilibrium: Discover the "sweet spot" where the plans of buyers and sellers perfectly align—and what happens when they don’t.

• Real-World Shifts: See how a news headline, a change in fashion, or a bad harvest can send prices soaring or plummeting by shifting these fundamental curves.

By the end of this episode, you won't just see prices as numbers. You'll see them as messages, telling you a story about scarcity, desire, and the constant, dynamic dance between all of us as consumers and producers.
