Needs: The states of dissatisfaction experienced by individuals or groups, motivating the pursuit of goods and services. Needs can be physiological (food, shelter) or variable based on preferences, time, and location.
Goods: Items capable of satisfying needs. They are classified as economic goods when they are scarce and require production, unlike free goods like air which are abundant and not scarce.
Scarcity: The fundamental economic problem arising from limited resources relative to unlimited human wants, necessitating choices and prioritization.
Resources (Factors of Production): Inputs used to produce goods and services, including land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. Resources are limited, leading to the need for efficient allocation.
Opportunity Cost: The value of the next best alternative foregone when making a decision. It measures the cost of choosing one option over another.
Economic Efficiency: The optimal use of resources to maximize output and satisfaction, avoiding waste and ensuring the best possible allocation of scarce resources.
