THIRD ESTATE: In past centuries, this included the peasants, serfs, or slaves who performed the dirty deeds for the ruling elite.

Help may come from the government leaders of the first estate or the journalist of the fourth estate--but don't count on it.

DEMAND The willingness and ability to buy a range of quantities of a good at a range of prices, during a given time period.

This demand side of the market draws inspiration from the unlimited wants and needs dimension of the scarcity problem.
