Artificial

"Supply" or "demand" can or should lift or lower an "economy".  We know that to be "false" or "true".

Is "artificial" "supply" or "demand" acceptable or appropriate?  We don't know if that's "correct" or "incorrect".

Let's consider an example:

• A "manufacturer" of "collectible cards" with close to zero "intrinsic value" wishes to sell said "cards".
• They "wish" to create "demand" or "excitement" or "interest".
• Said "manufacturer" artificially limits "supply" on a "per card" basis.

What does or doesn't happen?

"Rare cards" with very little or almost no "actual value" become "collector's items" with "stratospheric" "valuations".

Everyone "benefits" or a few "benefit".

Backward or forward.
