1, the scarcity of rare things leads to its high price in the market. Some ancient cultural relics are valuable because they represent traces of history. Similarly, some precious works of art, jewelry and so on. Because of its unique beauty and rarity, it is sold at sky-high prices in the market. However, this does not mean that the value of these items can exceed their rarity.

2. Rare things are precious because they are hard to get. People always have higher expectations and desires for things that are hard to get. For example, some expensive wines are very rare because of the complexity of brewing technology and raw materials, so the price is high. Some top artworks, handicrafts, etc. Because of the complexity and arduousness of its production process.

What we can't ignore is that human wisdom is precious because it is rare. In the long river of human history, great thoughts and wisdom are always rare and precious. The crystallization of these wisdom, whether it is philosophy, science, art or literature, occupies an important position in human society because of its scarcity and profundity.

The scarcity of things is not only reflected in the material world, but also in our interpersonal communication, workplace competition, emotional life and so on. In interpersonal communication, we always pay more attention to a few unique ideas and viewpoints, but may ignore popular and mediocre remarks.

Attach importance to the economic principle of scarcity.

Scarcity means less supply, but more demand, so that demand is greater than supply, and prices will rise, so it is expensive. According to the principle of economics, the price depends on the relationship between supply and demand. Or demand elasticity refers to the percentage of commodity demand change multiplied by 100 when the commodity price changes 1%. The formula is as follows: demand elasticity = percentage change of commodity demand/percentage change of commodity price.

When the elasticity of demand is less than 1, the percentage increase of commodity demand is less than the percentage decrease of commodity price. At this time, you can't increase your total income by reducing prices and expanding sales. The effect of the increase in sales volume was offset by the decrease in price. Demand elasticity less than 1 is necessities, such as food and clothes. Falling food prices and reducing farmers' income mean that food is cheap and hurts farmers.
