fair pricing
Just cost structure
Fair pricing is the practice of setting prices that reflect reasonable value for both buyer and seller.
The term implies transparency and absence of exploitation—no price gouging, hidden fees, or taking advantage of desperation.
What counts as fair depends on context: fair pricing for essential medicines suggests affordability, while fair pricing for artisan goods may mean paying workers adequately.
The phrase often appears in discussions of ethics, regulation, or consumer protection.
