gives a very good explanation as to why economists talk about elasticity instead of slope for supply and demand. I had never thought about scaling a demand curve like that before.
Of course the elasticity of a single farmer would differ from that of millions.
It's amazing how in micro-econ, you find a deeper and more profound understanding of the most basic things. It's one of the subjects that is re-learnt from scratch over and over.
Hey, that is pretty good explanation.

This is why physicists like dimensionless quantities so much.
