4 Review of Terms Economics: is the social science that seeks to describe the factors which determine the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Economic Enigma: Problems that can be solved through economic analysis Resource: Anything used to produce an economic good or a service
5 Review of Terms Scarcity: is the fundamental economic problem of having seemingly unlimited human wants in a world of limited resources Microeconomics: the part of economics concerned with single factors and the effects of individual decisions and businesses. Macroeconomics:the part of economics concerned with large-scale or general economic factors, such as interest rates and national productivity

11 Scarcity (spelling hint! Scar City) Scarcity is the condition that results form society not having enough resources to produce all the things people would like to have Economics is the study of how people try and satisfy unlimited and competing wants through the use of scare resources
12 Needs and Wants Need: A basic requirement for survival Want: A way of expressing a need Food, clothing, shelter I.e.: Pizza for need of food Range of things represented by the term want is much broader than that represented by the term need.
13 Scarcity means nothing is free Resources are limited everything we do has a cost No Such Thing As A Free Lunch!
14 Three Basic Questions What to produce How should society use its resources? How to Produce Technology or people? For Whom to Produce Who will receive existing supply? 1. WHAT 2. HOW 3. FOR WHOM
15 Scarcity: The fundamental economic problem that forces consumers and producers to use resources wisely Unlimited Wants Limited Resources Scarcity Choices What to produce How to produce For Whom to produce
16 The Factors of Production Resources required to produce the things we would like to have Land Labor Capital Entrepreneurs
17 Land Gifts of Nature Natural resources not created by humans Deserts, fertile fields, mineral deposits, livestock, forests, sunshine and climate necessary to grow crops
18 Labor People - their efforts, abilities and skills Resource that may vary in size over time: population growth, immigration, famine, war and disease can impact quantity and quality of labor
19 Capital Tools, equipment, machinery and factories used in the production of goods and services Called Capital Goods (not the same as Financial Capital, which is Money)
20 Entrepreneurs Risk-taker in search of profits who does something new with existing resources Driving force in an economy Ability to start new businesses or bring new products to the market Provide initiative that combines resources of land, labor, and capital into new products
