Economics:

A social science that studies the allocation of scarce resources used to produce goods and services that satisfy consumers' unlimited wants and needs.

Key points in the study of economics:

  • Social Science: Economics uses the scientific method to explain and study our society.
  • Allocation: Economics studies allocation decisions about distributing resources, goods and services.
  • Scarce Resources: The economy's resources are limited relative to their use.
  • Production: We transform available resources into goods and services. That's production.
  • Consumption: The goods and services produced are used to satisfy wants and needs. That's consumption.
