Ok, this is breaking my head. Help me out.

A family with more money ought to be willing to buy a loaf of bread for more money than a family with less money. I've convinced myself of that much.

What if the two families are selling loaves of bread instead?

Responses welcome. Explanations very welcome.

@dynamic If the family with more money has more money due to higher wages, then they'll assume a higher labor cost and price that component of their bread higher.

The family with less money is more likely to give free bread to other families with less money, which will reduce the average price per loaf.
