That=E2=80=99s certainly one way to look at it. Another perspective is that economics involves more than just money. = There may be musicians who want exposure more than they want money, or = they might want to help Sam because his synth repairs have provided more = benefit than money can buy. Voluntary transactions are not required to = involve money. No matter what our individual opinion might be, Sam will find out = whether the market offers the service he desires at the price he=E2=80=99s= offering. If it=E2=80=99s a completely unfair offer, then nobody will = send music. Sam certainly doesn=E2=80=99t have the ability to force = anyone to do anything.
