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
