purchasing power
amount of goods one can afford to buy as estimated by one's income
Purchasing power
Purchasing power is the amount of value of a good/services compared to the amount paid. As
Adam Smith noted, having money gives one the ability to "command" others'
labor, so purchasing power to some extent is power over other people, to the extent that they are willing to trade their labor or goods for
money.
