SEX!!!

Now that I have your attention please read on.

"The market for sex ultimately determines a price like any other industry. Sex was one of the first goods ever traded. It commanded a price even before the days of shell companies, complex money-laundering schemes and diamond rankings. I look back on my post from a year ago and recognise my ignorance: high-end prostitutes do have a unique skill-set."

I pulled this quote from a MoreIntelligentLife.com article which explores the economics of high-end prostitution. It's an interesting read, and a very poignant read at that. It's a primer (although a bit gratuitous in its subject matter) on basic supply and demand, and the determination of value. I like it, its outside the ordinary.
