Limitations
- It is restricted to one particular field. Be it a case of an individual, a firm or an industry. It does not take into account the study of economics.
- It lacks the ability to study the interrelations of all the parts of the economy.
- This analysis will fail if the improbable assumptions, which disconnect the study of specific market from the rest of the economy, are not taken into consideration.
- It has been unsuccessful in explaining the outcome of economic disturbance in the market that leads to demand and supply changes, moving from one market to another and thus instigating second, third order waves of change in the whole economy.

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:
“To note an artist’s limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“The motion picture made in Hollywood, if it is to create art at all, must do so within such strangling limitations of subject and treatment that it is a blind wonder it ever achieves any distinction beyond the purely mechanical slickness of a glass and chromium bathroom.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a Christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. Honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
