The Economic Problem

Bayani Gaba-gaba

A national government has a health budget of $2 billion. It could spend every dollar on new hospitals, or it could spend it on schools, or on both in some combination, but it cannot buy unlimited amounts of everything it wants. This single, inescapable dilemma, wanting more than you can have, sits underneath every decision made by every household, business and government on the planet.

In this lesson you will meet the economic problem in its sharpest form: scarcity forces choice, and every choice carries an opportunity cost. You will learn to read a production possibility curve, a single diagram that captures scarcity, choice, efficiency, unemployment and economic growth all at once, and you will look at what actually drives an economy's productive capacity up or down over time.

Manufura

  1. The problem of scarcity - where there are unlimited wants and finite resources, leading to the need to make choices
  2. Opportunity cost and its effect on economic agents (consumers, producers and government)
  3. The use of diagrams to show production possibility curve
  4. Production possibility curve diagram should be used to show the maximum productive potential of an economy, fully employed or unemployed resources, opportunity cost, positive or negative economic growth that shifts the production possibility frontier outwards and inwards, and possible and unobtainable production
  5. Possible causes of positive or negative economic growth

Takardar Darasi

Every economy, from a single household to the whole planet, faces the same underlying problem. People's wants are effectively unlimited: there is always another product, service or experience that someone would like to have. The resources available to satisfy those wants, land, labour, capital and enterprise, are finite. This mismatch between unlimited wants and limited resources is called scarcity, and it is the starting point of all economics.
