Game Theory: What is a Minecraft Emerald WORTH?

In Minecraft's recent update to the Villager trading system, they stopped with their randomly-generated prices and started setting a standard. Well Theorists, give me a consistent standard and I will give you a theory! This is the key to figuring out the economy of the Minecraft world - or at least the value of all the good we've been trading all these years. The most curious, to me, were the emeralds. How much is an emerald worth in Minecraft - and how does that potentially RUIN Minecraft's whole economic structure? Let's find out!

U can cure a villager if he’s a zombie, and when U do, everything is, for example, instead of 16 sticks for an emerald, to 1 stick for one emerald!

I disagree with using the blocks as a baseline: We have no reason to believe those blocks are solid, and you can math out how large they are using the 1st person view model when holding them..

Seeing the bread trade, I immediately decree that an emerald is worth $6 CAD, and my mind cannot be changed.
