• Related economic, financial, or business concepts
  Three concepts related to the quote.


• References
  Academic references (articles or books) or SimTrade blog posts related to the quote or to the concepts discussed.


• Going further
  A final section designed to stimulate interaction by inviting participants to ask questions, share experiences, or proposing a conceptual extension.
