Lemons and lemons
I'm not sure if "lemon" is U.S. or more widespread English for a defective product, but the introduction should clarify this. While I assumed, simply on seeing the title, that it indeed dealt with such matters rather than citrus fruit, I did wonder if some strange economist had done a case study dealing with the markets for the usually pleasantly sour ovoid yellow product of a tree.
Indeed, if I went to the wholesale produce market and bought a case of lemon (fruit) that was inedible, demanded replacements for it but found them equally unsatisfactory, would that be the market for lemon lemons? Lemon market for lemons?
