Lesson 3: Scarcity | Unit 5: THE Problem
|
Page: 15 of 17
|
An important aspect of scarcity is the fact that almost nothing is free.- That's why economists are fond of saying: 'There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
We have always faced limited resources and we've always wanted more than we can produce.- Scarcity is definitely THE Economic Problem.
- Everything we do from in economic terms-production, consumption, working, attending college-is directed toward this problem.
- Scarcity is important to many, perhaps even all, other human activities.
- Education? Without scarcity, education is not needed.
- Government? Without scarcity, government is not needed.
- What about vacations, religion, television?

REQUIRED RESERVES The reserves (vault cash and Federal Reserve deposits) that banks are required by government to keep to back up deposits. The primary use of required reserves is to process daily checkable deposit transactions. The government regulator in charge of setting reserve requires is the Federal Reserve System. Required reserves are usually in the range of 3 to 10 percent for checkable deposits and substantially less (0 percent) for savings deposits. Any legal reserves held by banks over those required to back deposits, termed excess reserves or free reserves, are available for interest-generating loans.
