a. When the forces of supply and demand lead to an inefficient outcome
economists call this a deadweight loss.
it is a signal that the government needs to take ownership of that market including all the resources involved.
economists call this a market failure.
the economic surplus is maximized.
b. Classify each scenario as to whether it is likely to result in an efficient or inefficient market outcome.
