SCARCITY: The Central Economic Problem
Because the resources are scares, all societies face the problem of deciding what produce and how to produce and divide the products among their members.
Societies differ in who makes the choices and how they are made, but the need to
choose is common to all. Just as scarcity implies the need for choice, so choice implies
the existence of cost.
Human wants are unlimited but resources are not
Scarcity means that society has limited resources and therefore cannot produce all the goods and services people wish to have.
