SCARCITY, WANTS, & NEEDS Mr. Rey Belen
Economic Questions 1. What to produce? 2. How to produce?   3. For whom?
Basic Economic Concepts CIRCULAR FLOW OF ECONOMIC LIFE CHOICE TRADE OFF OPPORTUNITY COST PRODUCTION- POSSIBILITY FRONTIER SCARCITY UNLIMITED WANTS & NEEDS
Realities Scarcity, however, does not imply that the amount of resources or the state of technology is fixed.  Scarcity limits the total output from the economy There are not enough resources in the world  to satisfy the unlimited wants and needs of all people

The World of Scarcity ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Scarcity is Different from Shortage ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Scarcityโ€ฆ scarcity exist in varying degrees: perhaps would have very little work to do in satisfying his needs if economic resources were no scarceโ€ฆ scarcity exists and there is no way of escaping from it, we have to understand the consequences that it brings  shortage is no less than a temporary economic phenomenon which can be remedied by adjustment in the marketplace
The nature of Wants human wants in the broadest sense cover many areas beyond the reach of economic satisfactionโ€ฆ after one wants has been satisfied, others will surface because human wants are insatiable!
Unlimited Wants and Limited Income What are the things that you would like to have? as you think about this question more seriously, you will discover that the list is almost endlessโ€ฆ it is natural for you to want something more than you have if you do not want something more than you have, you are probably dead
Limited Resources scarcity of resources is the main reason why we cannot have everything we want Source: National Geographic, October 1998 these must be apportioned in such a way that they will provide the greatest satisfaction to those who need them  How are you helping make decisions in the allocation of goods and services in simply being a consumer, give the fact that we have limited resources and man have unlimited wants?
Prioritizing Wants โ€œ FREEDOM OF CHOICEโ€ you have the freedom to decide what you would like to do with your money  you are free to determine the amount of money you will spend and the amount of money you want to put in a bank you have the freedom to choose the school where you would like to study freedom to choose the course you would like to take in college *all these are related to the income you and your parents have
Difference Between Wants and Needs ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Reality in the world of scarcity : Every want that ends up being satisfied causes one or more wants to remain unsatisfied
The Nature Of Needs MASLOWโ€™S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS he based his theory on the study of outstanding person (self-actualized)
