Scarcity causes people to make choices. –Real world example: Do we have enough resources (money, doctors, hospitals) to ensure our entire population with “Cadillac level” insurance? –Do I save money for a car or college? –Do I buy a laptop or a new cell phone?

Economics is the study of how people make choices Choices lead to trade-off decisions –Take a trip to Hawaii or work With every trade-off, we have opportunity costs The value of what was given up, or the next best option –If you take the trip, you miss out on wages

Questions all Societies must answer: What to produce? New large hospitals or small neighborhood clinics? How to produce? For profit private companies or, non-profit, co-op, or govt. funded?
