What is economics
Economics - Study of scarcity and how scarce resources are allocated between competing needs and wants in society - study of how people seek to satisfy their needs ands wants by making choices.
Economists looks at:
cost and benefits of decisions
help society and individuals better
interaction between buyers and sellers in markets
how people and societies choose to use and allocate resources
Law of demand: As prices rise, demand will decrease, as prices fall, quantity will decrease
Law of supply: As prices go up, supply will go up (more profit to be made
Opportunity Cost - Sacrificing one thing to choose another thing, eg. choosing coke over sprite
Diminishing returns - the more you have something, the less the benefit: eg. one game, much satisfaction, two of the same game, less satisfaction
