“In modern economic theory, value is strongly influenced by scarcity relative to demand. Classical and monetarist economists, including Milton Friedman, demonstrated that controlling supply—whether of money or assets—directly impacts perceived and realized value. When supply is reduced in a structured and predictable manner, and demand is sustained, each remaining unit represents a greater share of the system, creating upward pressure on value. This principle underpins both natural markets and engineered economic systems.”
