Opportunity Cost
Akopọ
Every time you choose one thing, you quietly give up something else. A government that builds a new airport terminal cannot spend that same money on hospitals; a student who studies Economics gives up the other subject they could have taken. That hidden cost of the road not taken is one of the most powerful ideas in the whole subject.
In this lesson you will define opportunity cost precisely, see it at work for consumers, workers, firms and governments, and read it straight off a production possibility curve. By the end you will be able to spot the sacrifice behind any economic choice and explain why rational decision makers weigh it carefully.
