Economic Foundations
Übersicht
A finance minister sits down with a budget of forty billion and a list of demands worth ninety. A farmer with sixty hectares can plant maize or cassava but not both on the same ground. You have one free evening and three things you would enjoy doing. Three completely different people, one identical problem: the wanting is endless and the means are not. Economics begins at exactly that point, and everything else in this course is built on it.
In this lesson you will pin down what an economic resource actually is, name the four factors of production and the reward each one earns, and meet the three questions every society on earth has to answer about production. You will learn to separate a need from a want and to see why that line moves as a country gets richer. Then you will meet the idea that examiners come back to more often than any other in the first weeks of this course: opportunity cost, the thing you gave up in order to have what you chose.
