What to Focus On

  • Want means desire plus effort to acquire.
  • Wants are unlimited and recurring.
  • Wants are competitive because resources are limited.
  • Goods satisfy human wants and have utility.
  • Goods may be material or non-material.
  • Economic goods are scarce and have price.
  • Services are intangible.
  • Services satisfy wants but are not material goods.
  • Services are produced and consumed simultaneously.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Want and desire mean the same thing in economics.

All wants can be satisfied if a person tries hard enough.
