Key Concepts & Definitions

Economics: a social science that examines how society manages its limited resources. It involves analyzing how these resources, which are finite, are distributed among various uses to meet human needs and desires.

Scarce resources: limited resources that require careful decision-making regarding their use. These resources are not abundant enough to satisfy all wants and needs simultaneously, necessitating choices about their allocation.

Resource allocation: the process of distributing limited resources among different uses or entities. It involves making decisions about how to best utilize scarce resources to maximize benefits or satisfy needs.
