According to the idea of consumer sovereignty, what will happen in the market for widgets if consumers decide they no longer desire widgets?
What will be an ideal response?
If consumers no longer desire widgets, they will send a message to producers by not purchasing widgets. Since firms will be unable to make a profit selling widgets, widget-producing firms will go out of business (or switch to producing something else) and widgets will no longer be produced. Thus, the consumers' preferences dictate what is produced.
