To make sense of real world problems, economics has one key assumption in mind. People are rational. Economists use this assumption to make predictions on real world problems with the best case scenario in mind.Think about it. Why would you settle for less.

You've got someone engaging in prolonged back and forth over something that was a straightforward directive or somebody who is routinely irritable and quarrelome but ne ...
