A lumber city with 40 level 9 mills, a 350 politician and 10 level 10 forests will spit out 30 million lumber. Thats 30 million resource produced and 24 million used. This creates a glut of resource. In time wood and iron could theoretically drop to below 1 as many people would produce far more than they are ever able to use. Food will rise over time as armies become larger and could be as much as 10 times the price of iron and wood.

This 60 second build time is based off a hero with 450 attack as well. In reality many will probably be on a 70-80 sec build time, create a further resource glut.
And thats not including colonies if you had 10 colonies with about that production you would be doubling you resource production
