Because all of these resources are limited, SCARCITY occurs…• Scarcity…
– The condition that exists because human wants exceed capacity of available resources to satisfy those wants
Put this in English for me!!!!!!!

For a resource to be SCARCE, it must be…
1.Limited in quantity2.Be desirable3.More than one valuable

Scarcity, with the resulting need to choose among competing options, is the basic economic problem.
