This document discusses financial and natural resource markets. It covers topics such as: - Demand and supply dynamics that determine interest rates and quantity of funds in financial markets. - Factors that influence the supply and demand of land as a natural resource, including economic rent. - Differences between renewable and non-renewable natural resources and how their markets function. - How market forces can incentivize conservation of scarce resources but may not fully address externalities from resource extraction. - Debate between economists who predict resource scarcity crises and those who argue human innovation will overcome limits.
