The Economic Problem
Akopọ
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.
Awọn Afojusun
- The problem of scarcity - where there are unlimited wants and finite resources, leading to the need to make choices
- Opportunity cost and its effect on economic agents (consumers, producers and government)
- The use of diagrams to show production possibility curve
- 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
- Possible causes of positive or negative economic growth
