Hmmm. Ok, walkingman. Well, we get back to the Rolls Royce situation. Are you saying an assembly line worker at Ferrari or Lear (whoever makes Lear Jets), or Rolls Royce should be able to buy what they produce? Are you saying that the workers in a Nike plant should be able to seize a certain amount of shoes everyday?

It depends on the local standards of what is luxury and what is a necessity. In America Rolls Royce is a luxury but shoes are necessity. In some Asian countries people still go barefoot.

This gets to the root of the problem.

First, a Rolls Royce is a luxury no matter which country you are in. Second, shoes are not a necessity except in certain climes in America.

A model? Hey, I like models...

Air. Is Air a commodity or a luxury or an intrinsic right?

Bear with me. I ask this in seriousness. I wish to demonstrate the nature of what we think of as "commodity".
