Farsightedness is more properly called Hyperopia.

The ryots came to see the moneylender as devious and deceitful. They complained of moneylenders manipulating laws and forging accounts.

This law was meant to check the accumulation of interest over time. The moneylender, however, turned the law around, forcing the ryot to sign a new bond every three years.

If the percent change in quantity demanded is less than the percent change in price, economists label the demand for the good as inelastic.

A good that is inelastic does not have very stretchy demand. In economic terms, the quantity demanded does not change a lot when the price changes.

So, if the price of a good increases by 10 percent and the quantity demanded decreases by only 5 percent or less than 10, that good is said to have inelastic demand.

Hence, in this case, consumers are not considered very sensitive, or responsive, to a change in the price of that good.
