Scarcity. Economic Wants and Productive Resources
1. Microeconomics is the study of how people choose under conditions of scarcity. Even when material resources are abundant, other important resources are not. At his death, Aristotle Onassis was worth several billion dollars. He had more material resources than he could possibly spend. And yet, in an important sense, he confronted the problem if scarcity much more than most of us will ever have to. He was the victim of a progressive neurological disease in which the body’s immune system turns against itself. For him, the scarcity that mattered was not the money but time, energy, and the physical skill needed to carry out ordinary activities.
2. Time and money are not the only important scarce resources. Every choice involves important elements of scarcity. Scarcity is the condition that results from imbalance between relatively unlimited wants and the relatively limited resources available for satisfying those wants. No society has ever had enough resources to produce the full amount and variety of goods and services its members wanted. Scarcity necessitates choice. If we can’t have everything we would like, we must choose those things we want most. Thus, both individuals and societies must continuously make choices about how to use the scarce resources available to them. The concept of scarcity can be understood more clearly by examining the sub-concepts of economic wants and productive resources.
3. In modern societies people have a wide variety of wants. Food, clothing, shelter, medical care, entertainment and leisure time are wants with major economic implications. Economic wants can be satisfied by the consumption of a good or service. Productive resources consist of what is required to produce the goods and services that people want. There are three basic categories of productive resources: human resources, natural resources and capital goods.
