BurgernomicsTurbocharging The Price You Pay In 170 SecsKey Points:
Traditionally, the law of supply and demand dictates prices in the marketplace, where buyers and sellers agree on a price based on publicly available information.

This lack of transparency leaves consumers feeling uneasy, leading to calls for government intervention. But in...
