12、se of a myriad(极大数量)of services, including labor, professional transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the “system” of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything
13、 seems to depend more or less upon everything else. If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or in other words, that price is the money value of a product o
14、r service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes.
