that adds to it,BUT what drives those prices are demand.let me give you an example: say a wire meking operation moves overseas,as a lot has.that company hires say 200 workers.to be effecient and to have a steady reliable workforce those workers must live close enough to be able to get to work on time.they cant live thirty miles away and walk or take a used up bus to work.so they need housing,housing means wire,pipes,nails,wood, all the rest,just as it does here.that increases demand.then when those folks go from a subsistance type of living to recieving a steady paycheck they also want extras,a rug on the floor,a chair,a table,a bed,possibly a radio or tv,even a new pan instead of the old tin can or bucket they cooked with in their huts on the farm.they want gas to cook with because there not enough trees,they want flour from sacks instead of grinding it out of their fields like they did on the farm. All this slowly but continuously increases demand. heres another example.My wife supports through some christian charity org a young girl in africa.Last year she sent her a some money for christmas, not much but a few dollars or so. These folks live in a villiage where her father raises cows, he owns four or five,and farms by hand a small plot . We recieved a picture from this family showing what they bought with this money.It was a pair of tennis shoes and two store bought sack dresses for the girl,the first she(or anyone in her family) owned. A blue plastic tarp,a length of rope for a clothes line,a sack of flour( also the first they ever bought),a five gallon plastic water container,one of those white metal wash basins,and a real pot to cook in. doesnt sound like much to you and me,but someone had to make those things.and as sure as can be it increased demand.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia.
