Reading Time: 3 minutes Economics is the study of how people use resources to meet their needs and wants. It involves making choices and understanding the consequences of those choices. With limited resources and unlimited wants, we must make decisions about how to use our money, time, and labor most effectively.
Key concepts in economics include scarcity, opportunity cost, and supply and demand. Scarcity means resources are limited, leading to choices about what to prioritize.
