Look up Ronald Reagan's "Cost Push" theory.  It has nothing
to do with Keynsnian economics or the supply/ demand model.

Leica is using that theory because, for them, it works.

I'm just a poor retarded engineer, but I know how the
DeBeers Syndicate works.

I believe that Leica is entitled to any price that idiots will
pay.
