I'm glad that this was one of the suggested pieces for students to listen to for this class. When I first began listening to it, I was in complete agreement with Mr. Hickey's belief that artists are becoming too greedy when it comes to their works. By asking such a high buying price for their pieces, they are actually attempting to create value for something that may not be worth very much at all. I believe that this is a crime and artists should not be able to command such a high price. After I finished listening to Mr. Hickey speak, I realized that it was not just artists' fault for this situation. Many people these days are just out to show that their services or products are better than their competitors and thus, ask a higher price. The problem that we face now is that too many people in this world are overly concerned with making as much money as possible, without any type of respect for others. By attempting to artificially create value for their own products, they are completely messing up the natural supply and demand schedules and scamming others out of their money.
