The economic principle many learned about even prior to taking college Econ 101 was the law of supply and demand. As we learned, an economic system which is functioning freely, distributes goods and services from a source of plenty to a source of need.

The next time you see a headline proclaiming a medical breakthrough, think of this ancient Latin expression: Cum grano salis. It means with a grain of salt. That expression started because salt used to be very valuable. And, it was in high demand as a food preservative, as a poison antidote and a taste enhancer. Salt was relatively scarce at one time. It also was thought to have healing qualities. Now that’s a laugh, since in modern times it kills those who overuse it for long periods by raising their blood pressure.
