What to Focus On

  • Economics comes from oikonomia: oikos means household and nemein means management.
  • Economics is about using limited resources to satisfy unlimited wants.
  • Needs are essential; wants are non-essential and keep changing.
  • Opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative given up.
  • The farmer example shows a trade-off between barley and wheat.
  • PPC means Production Possibility Curve.
  • The three questions are what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce.
  • What to produce is about goods, services, and quantities.
  • How to produce is about the method and technique of production.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Economics is only about money, prices, and profit.

Wants and needs are the same thing.

Human wants can be fully satisfied if enough goods are produced.
