“Price is the central hinge of the economy.” - Alessandro Monti
“[on coming up with price] ...the discipline is so complex; it seems to be easy. But the complexity every time I start the lecture on elasticities, in the end, it's difficult because it's so abstract. Then you’ll realize, ‘Hey, this is real life. There is some reaction to price changes and in demand.” - Alessandro Monti
“The concept of fairness is so individual. At the end of the day, I'm a big fan of, ‘Hey, if I'm able to charge at the level of individual’s willingness to pay, and I deliver value, and the customer is willing to pay for that.” - Alessandro Monti
