Beyond the Physical Object: Analyzing a Purchase
Consider the purchase of a new smartphone. A purely physical description would focus on the device's materials and components. From an economic perspective that views interactions as the transfer of rights, analyze what is actually being bought and sold in this transaction. Go beyond the physical object and describe the specific bundle of entitlements the buyer acquires and the role of the institutional framework in defining these entitlements.
