The statement made by Gary Hirshberg means that consumers do not know the power they possess in influencing the type of products sold in stores.

The Relationship between Risks and Rate of Returns

The risk and rate of return, as discussed in business, are directly proportional.

Investors are likely to prefer investment decisions that yield high rates of return at minimal risks. The term risk defines the capability of acquiring loss below a person’s investigations. On ...

Fiscal policy is generally identified under the popular “Keynesian Economics” label. Monetary policy, on the other hand, involves the central bank (the Federal Reserve Bank system, or “the Fed”) “adjusting” the money supply through interest ...
