Marginal Analysis, Roller Coasters, Elasticity, and Van Gogh: Crash Course Economics #18

This week Jacob and Adriene teach you about marginal analysis, which you’re using RIGHT NOW! The video is coming from inside the house! Or something.

We’ll also look at the idea of elasticity, and what people are willing to pay for certain stuff based on the supply. Why is a Van Gogh worth more than an OBEY poster? (hint: it’s because they’re still cranking out the OBEY posters, and Vincent is dead) All this and more on Crash Course Economics!
