gcse economics - demand and supply - demand
Definition
The amount that an individual or individuals are willing to buy at any given price.
Effective Demand
This means that people actually have the money to make the purchases e.g. we could all claim to demand a porsche at £40,000. But, how many of us actually have that amount of money?
DEMAND AND PRICE
