There are some agricultural products ⓐof which production and price repeat periodical increase and decrease. In the 19th century America, ⓑan interesting situation was observed that high production and low prices ⓒin corn market ⓓalternates with high prices and low production ⓔin hog market with some time lapse, and vice versa. Suppose the supply of corn heavily increased one year. As a result the price of corn for feed decreases and in turn the number of farming pigs increases. But on the following year corn farmers reduce the production of corn on the basis of last year's disappointing ⓕprice rate, which raises the price of corn this year and thereby reduces the number of pigs raised ⓖin farm. The corn farmers, however, excited over the increase in the price of corn, in return extend the production of corn. ⓗThe likewise observed phenomena is ⓘtermed ⓙ'Corn-Hog cycle' which alternates the production and ⓚprice in corn and hog ⓛin two years. This is the so-called fallacy of composition that the rational behavior of each farmer ⓜwhich is meant to ⓝaggrandize profits results in collective ⓞloss of entire farming industry.

ⓕ 가격을 기준으로 하는 것이므로 rate 생략

ⓘ termed → called
ⓙ 일반적으로 쓰이는 잘 알려진 용어이므로 the를 씀
ⓚ 옥수수의 가격과 돼지의 가격은 구체적으로 나타나는 가격이어 추상명사가 아니므로 복수형

ⓜ which is 생략
ⓝ aggrandize는 양적인 증대보다는 질적 증대의 의미이므로 양적인 증대를 표현하는 maximize로 수정

최근 한우값이 폭락하면서 한동안 잠잠했던 소값 파동이 재연될 조짐을 보이고 있다. 미국산 쇠고기의 수입이 금지된 동안 한우 사육두수를 한껏 늘렸다가, 수입이 재개될 듯하자 다투어 소를 내다 팔기 시작한 것이다. 이런 때일수록 냉정을 잃지 않아야 소값 파동을 피할 텐데.
