What is Economics?
- Eonomics is the study of how society chooses to employ resources to produce
goods and services and distribute them for consumption among various
competing groups and individ-uals.
- There are two major branches of economics:
+ Macroeconomics looks at the operation of nation's economy as a whole (the
whole United States).
+ Microeconomics looks at the behavior of people and organizations in
markets for particular products or services.
- Macroeconomic topics in this chapter include gross domestic product (GDP), the
unemployment rate, and price indexes.
- There's no way to maintain peace and prosperity in the world by merely
dividing the resources we have today among the existing nations. There
aren't enough known resources to do that.How can we be assured of having
enough resources?
- Resource development is the study of how to increase resources (say, by getting
oil and gas from shale and tar sands) and create conditions that will make better
use of them (like recycling and conservation ).
- Businesses can contribute to an economic system by inventing products that
greatly increase available resources.
