Overproduction Defined! Excess production; supply beyond the demand.
So what does that mean??? Play ¡­ ¡°Overproduction: The Game¡± to find out!
ºÝºÝߣ 3 - Your name is Henry Jones.  You are a farmer.  You live in Somewhereville, USA! You have a small plot of land.  You are able to sell 20 bushels of corn a month at $1 a bushel.  Twenty dollars a month is not enough money to feed your family.  You have five young children that are hungry.  Your neighbor, Walter Burke, has just bought the NEW UBER-PLOW!  He can now sell 40 bushels of corn a month.  In Somewhereville, you and Walter Burke are the only farmers that produce and sell corn.
ºÝºÝߣ 4 - The UBER-Plow costs $100!  You have NO savings!  Do you borrow $100 from the bank to buy the UBER-Plow?? NO (Go to slide 5) YES (Skip slide 5 and go to slide 6)
ºÝºÝߣ 5 - OK, you chose NO! You and your family suffer because Walter Burke is selling more corn.  He can now afford to sell the corn for 75 cents a bushel because he sells more.  You¡¯ve lost customers to Burke due to his markdown.  As the months go by, the situation gets worse and worse.  Your family is falling into deep poverty.  In desperation, you quit farming and attempt to head West with your family to find work.  GO TO SLIDE 4 and try choosing YES!
ºÝºÝߣ 6 - OK, you chose YES! At first, the UBER-Plow saves your family from falling into poverty!  You now can sell 40 bushels of corn a month.  However, Burke has lowered his price to 75 cents a bushel.  You lower your price to match Burke¡¯s.  For a month, both you and Burke are doing well selling corn at this price. You both sell about an equal amount of corn to the local population in that month.
ºÝºÝߣ 7 -What happens next?!?!?! At the start of the next month, Burke lowers the price of his corn to 50 cents in an attempt to gain more customers.  Burke can afford to do this.  He does not have any children to support.   He also did not borrow money to buy the UBER-Plow.  Do you want to lower your prices to 50 cents? Yes (flip to slide 8) No (flip to slide 9)
ºÝºÝߣ 8 ¨COK you chose YES- Back into poverty! Turns out you cannot afford to lower your prices this low.  They are too low for you to feed your family. You also owe $100 to the local bank.  You are forced back into poverty.   Game Over!
ºÝºÝߣ 9 - OK you chose NO - Back in poverty You lose all your customers to Burke because you refuse to lower your prices.  You also still owe the bank 100 dollars! You are very poor and have no idea how you will feed your family or pay off the bank loan. Game Over!
