You are the type of person who can scrounge together a complete fashion ensemble for the price of a cheeseburger that will make heads turn... turn away in disgust. Family and friends hesitate to broach any controversial topic when you're around for fear of a verbal tongue-lashing. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time visiting every yard sale in a 30-mile radius wanting to buy either a New York Yankees baseball cap or a solid oak entertainment center. Be on the lookout for pencil sharpeners with an attitude. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter W, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 058756. Your preferred shopping venue is flea markets. Your special symbol is the backslash (\).

As an Orange Rebeloon, you are very much the rebel and the contrarian. It is your nature to go against the grain. When everyone else is buying, you sell. When everyone else is selling, you buy. You go against the trends. You disdain fashion. If it's hot, you're not. You would march to your own drummer and dance to your own tune, if doing so wasn't so trite and conventional.

A curve that graphically represents the relation between the marginal revenue received by a monopoly for selling its output and the quantity of output sold. Because a monopoly is a price maker and faces a negatively-sloped demand curve, its marginal revenue curve is also negatively sloped and lies below its average revenue (and demand) curve. A monopoly maximizes profit by producing the quantity of output found at the intersection of the marginal revenue curve and marginal cost curve.

In the discussion of recession we see that one of the problems confronting both pedestrians and the economy is stepping in an occasional pothole. These potholes are usually small and do little damage. Every now and then, however, our economy falls face first into one humdinger of pothole that's big enough to swallow the better part of a marching band. Rather than a mere recessionary pothole, these are best thought of as depressionary canyons. The Great Depression of the 1930s was the most memorable depressionary canyon on record for the good old U. S. of A. The question we need to ponder over the next few pages is: Are there any more depressionary canyons like the 1930s lurking along the economic pavement?
