The importance of markets in our lives is vast, especially as we are all considered consumers today and it often feels that our number one priority in life as a good citizen is to consume. If we are not buying new products all the time, we are told our economy is going to go into a recession. We are encouraged to spend rather than to save (especially since the Federal Reserve drove interest rates down to near 0% for so long, which meant that savers were essentially losing value over time because the rate of inflation was higher than the interest they were earning on their savings). So markets really dictate our thought processes, our actions (we work long hours all week in order to be able to spend and have the kind of consumerist life expected of us). The markets, meanwhile, take on a life of their own for the economy, intertwining as they do and supporting one another. What happens in the commodities market will have an impact on the stock market, and what happens in the bond market will impact equities and vice versa. Markets are useful in that they allow us to trade and to obtain things that we might not otherwise have access to—but at some point, trading became an end in and of itself: instead of trading in order to obtain something useful, trading became an enterprise by which traders sought to capitalize wholly on mismatches (i.e., identifying inequalities in the marketplace and exploiting them through trade). That development...
For example, trading human organs is something that is done in the black market. People trade on the black market to escape oversight of the state and this will condition will always exist. I cannot think of anything that is traded in the commercial sphere that I feel should be removed: the more push from the state, anyway, will only result in more business for the black market.
I think markets have a positive and a negative impact on my life. On the positive side, they allow me to make money from trading on the stock market, and they allow me to obtain goods that I otherwise would not have access to. On the negative side, I feel that I become more and more focused on consumption and end up buying things I don’t even need. Instead of saving, I spend and run up my credit cards and get into debt and then look back on my purchases and wonder what possessed me in the first place to ever want to make them.
One thing about the reading I do not understand is why Adam Smith’s…

Com. In case of several companies, enhancing customer relationships is among the most capable features of e-commerce.

However, if management has encouraged new product development and creative ancillary product development during the maturity phase, the decline phase can be stretched out for a longer period of time, and even reversed with the right management strategies. (HBR, 2003) The focus in all of these stages is balance. Management must know in which stage the organization is at the moment, and must capitalize on that knowledge. At all times, management
