1 hour ago my roommate and I invited a bunch of friends to have buffalo chicken wings together. Awesome! However there are about 60 chicken wings and we have 5 people here. It seems enough right?
Nope. It is definitely not enough for 5 of us because we have unlimited desire and wants, and we would always want more even when we are already full. There is also the element of peer pressure as those who eat less will be deemed as weak and useless. (haha!) Each of us also has our own preference. For instance I would prefer chicken legs while Siqi only likes to eat wings. Jeff doesn't like to eat spicy stuff while Hogan eats really slow, he eat less and he only takes chicken that's near to him.
Although there is no money transaction between us, there is the simple mechanism of economics that plays in between us: the idea of trade among us that allows us to put the less valued chicken wings to those that value them the most! Eventually we sanction the chicken wings successfully. I am not sure whether we became richer or not through this system, but surely we were all very satisfied.
