  • How Much is That Doggie in the Window? The First Law of Marketing

    Why are diamonds more expensive than water?
    After all, you can live without diamonds, but you can’t live more than three days without water.

    This is known as the ‘Diamond-Water Paradox’ which economist Adam Smith (1723-1790) pondered yet was unable to solve. In 1871 Carl Menger published a new theory of value which contradicted Karl Marx’s labor theory of value. Menger believed that value is completely subjective: a product’s value is found in its ability to satisfy human wants.

    Why the history lesson? Learning the value of value is imperative to be paid what you’re worth.
