Economics is the study of how limited resources are used to satisfy unlimited human wants. It examines scarcity and the choices that must be made as a result. There are four main productive resources - land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. Macroeconomics looks at aggregate economic measures like growth and inflation, while microeconomics analyzes individual markets and decision making. Positive economics makes factual statements that can be tested, while normative economics involves value judgments about how the economy should work. The three basic economic questions are what to produce, how to produce it, and who receives what is produced.
