    WOW! Thank you for the explanation. I've got to say, not only does watching the videos on this channel give me a deeper understanding of the topics covered (and not covered) in my microeconomics class, but it makes me feel more confident in participating in the market.....I'm still learning the basics but wow thanks again for being such an accessible venue for education!!!

    "Consumer Surplus" isn't a very good name for the concept it's supposed to describe. It very likely originally was "Consumer'S surplus". It doesn't describe a surplus of consumers; rather, it describes the "surplus" of money that consumers have left-over, as a result of the price not being as high as they would've otherwise tolerated it to be (at maximum).

    Hmmm, I think the area should not be the total consumer surplus, because there might be 1000 people who are willing to pay $20 but only 10 people who are willing to pay $80. The different price are not evenly weighted...

    Of course it is. Everyone is weighted by his quantity. That's why you can add all the price x quantity slices up.

    I think the issue is that it should not name it "Joe's surplus" because the X axis is not the quantity of buyers but the quantity of barrels of oil.

    But it's Joe's quantity and Joe's price, so it's Joe's surplus.

  • @hellojjjetplane

    How is consumer surplus simply the area under the curve? If you have to take the sum of all consumers don't you have to account for the fact that more people will be willing to pay less for a barrel then more. (in this example 7 people will pay 60 but only one person will pay 80, taking the area under the curve is 60+80 but in reality it should be 7(60)+80

    The number of persons is irrelevant. It's all about the quantities. 1 barrel for 80, 7 barrels for 60.....

    This is great for foreigners. People in the Western World are accustomed to enthusiasm and intonation changing at every second. Whereas for those who know English as a second/third language, his way of communicating is great. If you need somebody "enthusiastic," to flame up your desire to learn, then maybe you need to seek inspiration from your own self or develop the want for an education without theatrical lecturing.
