- One point of interest on the horizon is the law of demand.
- Recall that...
- The law of demand states that an inverse relation exists between demand price and the quantity demanded, ceteris paribus.
- The portion of this definition that is most important to the theory of consumer demand is the demand price.

FIAT MONEY A medium of exchange (money) with value in exchange, but little or no value in use. Modern paper currency, coins, and checkable deposits are fiat money. The value of fiat money comes from the public's general willingness to accept it in exchange for other goods. This willingness comes from the fact that EVERYONE is willing to accept fiat money in exchange, which largely depends on the public's confidence in the authority (usually government) issuing the fiat money. Fiat money is NOT valuable unto itself, but it is valuable for what it can buy. In the march toward economic complexity, fiat money emerged from commodity money, money with both value in exchange and value in use.
