Hey, @Togbe Agorkoli gyimifuor kwasiampanin kromfuor ba..!!!!!!! Your stupid and brainless chimpanzee president from the Kyebi forest - Nana Akuffo Addo, has foolishly given out a whopping amount of $58 million dollars to some filthy homosexual architect who has dug up a massive hole for him, instead of a homosexual cathedral. Now your mumu & certificateless president, with a toothless mouth filled with gallons of drooling smelly saliva is looking for stupid vigilante animals like you to come and help him fill this up!

Madam, may I offer to teach the basic idea behind an inferior good in Economics that differs from your political definition. AN INFERIOR GOOD IS ANY GOOD THAT FALLS OUT OF PURCHASING FAVOUR WITH BUYERS WHEN THEIR INCOME RISES. In this regard, the inferiority is tagged to the buyer’s INCOME and does not define that particular good for all classes of buyers all times. Example Gari: When Asiedu Nketiah was hustling Saakwa in the early 80’s, his low income meant that his wife often bought Gari. As NDC Secretary General, he shifted to Fried Rice. Gari then BECOMES an inferior good relative to his financial clout. The same analogy applies to Kokonte: as we get richer, we snub the Uefa Champion. Today, Asiedu Nketiah and his family are eating KFC for lunch and his dinner table hardly features Lapiiwa. Another commodity we can use as an example is Trotro. We no longer queue at the Lorry Station when our financial situation improves, thus allowing us to buy our own cars. Bear in mind that the Boneshaker is not an inferior good for those who remain poor. The Economic Definition only applies WHEN A POSITIVE INCOME CHANGE OF A CONSUMER DOWNGRADES THAT PARTICULAR GOOD’S CONSUMPTION. If you could think of how Ghanaians practice residential relocation, the concept even gets better understood: Mr. X was staying at Nima before he became an NPP MP. After two terms, he moved to East Legon. In Mr. X’s trajectory, Nima becomes an Inferior Good for him.

Your analysis is rather goes to support her argument. Gari has over the night become a prestige goods due to it high cost. Nobody will feel shy any more going for gari due to the surge in prices.

You’re are rather restating her position about Gari that “It is now a prestigious good.” It’s not about prestige or shyness but more about moving another level and looking down on what used to be your Best Buy. If you know their history, Osebo the Zara Man has become an Inferior Good for Nana Aba. Why so? She got more money, moved on to a different level and won’t buy Osebo even if the price is 1 Kobo or free. If you can’t get the textbook meaning stick to your no brain understanding based on the assumption that it was 2gh last week and 20gh today so it can’t be an inferior good. You’ll get the full score with Kumchacha as your Professor of Economics.

Succint! Under Akufo-Addo-Bawuliar NPP government, every academic theory has been turned on its head. "When in doubt, observe the exchange rate". But when the exchange rate exposes them, then it is warped logic. When inflation rises to 55 percentage points year-on-year, a reduction on previous year's inflation to 23% is " turning the corner"? Turning the corner is when you reduce it from where you inherited it. It's only under this clueless government that IMF bailout is synonymous with DDEP with its resultant haircuts. I wonder why their book makers are not considering rewriting our textbooks. It's a real shame, my sister.

I'm surprised people with little appreciation of "margial utility" theory in Economics are descending on the learned lawyer. 'inferior good ", " Giffen good" etc don't mean the same as your everyday knowledge of the term. A little word of advice for the uninitiated; just do a little research before you make a mockery of yourselves.

o why is he saying that we cannot use gari as an inferior good? So if the price of good which is classified as an inferior good increases, we no longer classify it as one?

There's a definition for 'inferior good" in Economics. Gari fitted this definition. However, in recent times, the price of gari is so high that it can't be classified so any longer

In her estimation, gari which used to pass as an example of inferior good back in our school days can no longer be classified as such because inflation has eroded disposable income to the extent that, gari has now become "ostentatious" commodity; the higher the disposable income, the higher the demand for gari. It's no longer an inferior good.

@Kweku kotibortor kowinsani... you are clearly some abominable dead rat shit soup drinker...!!!!!!!! You just can't come out and be stupidly generalizing the current situation in Ghana as what prevails around the world. Your stupid Akuffo Addo and his criminal Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta are the ones who have escalated the economic difficulties for Ghanaians! For your information, John Mahama's Finance Minister Seth Terkper never kept borrowing monies stupidly until he was SACKED away from the Global Capital market. Seth Terkper never got Ghana's economy being declared as JUNK with a "D" rating as it's status. Seth Terkper never got a criminal like Ernest Addison to secretly print over Ghc 84 billion cedis at the Bank of Ghana for his fraudulent use. Seth Terkper never paid out over $58 million dollars to a homosexual architect to come and dig up a useless hole for Ghanaians in the middle of the Capital. Seth Terkper never stole or disbursed over $12 million dollars among his cronies on any fraudulent Agyapa deal when the concept of that thievery has not even been discussed fully. You and your wretched family will all die from Ebola disease very soon!

You expect garri to sell for Ghc1 per olonka when all you politicians do is to jump from one Radio/TV station to another everyday and just talk. Has this lady ever planted or sponsored just one man/woman to plant a quarter acre of cassava in her life so far? This is no Rocket Science - prices are determined by the interplay between supply and demand. High demand with poor supply simply means prices will rise.

Sorry I don't have time for characters like you. I don't care whether your NPP or NDC is ruling this country. It makes no difference to my standard of living. Get that clear into your grossly underutilised brain. Perhaps for you which party is in power makes a whole lot of difference to your pathetic life. Wish you good luck.

Useless analogy that can only be made by someone who lacks understanding of economics. Even if gari prices increase those who don’t eat gari because it is inferior food will not eat it.

Just because we classify or use the term economic goods you think it's okay to single one out and say it is an economic good. It's improper to say it that way and so unadvanced, period.
