• Discuss collective intelligence and market forces.
• What are the responsibilities of the consumer towards the market?
• What are the responsibilities of the consumer towards other consumers in the same market?
• Discuss strategies to encourage or to discourage certain behaviors in certain markets (e.g. housing market).
