|
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.

- Education? Without scarcity, education is not needed.
- Government? Without scarcity, government is not needed.
- What about vacations, religion, television?
