What is the water-diamond paradox?
2.
If we talk in simple terms then the term paradox meaning the contradictory statement
So water- diamond paradox simply states that as we all know that water is more useful as compare than diamonds for survival but still diamonds are having higher price in the market
It is generally explained by the help of marginal utility theory which says that the water is necessary for life but only first few units and water presence is plentiful on earth
But if we talk about diamond then they are very scarce resource so marginal value per pound of diamond exceeds the marginal value per pound of water
