Read to Learn Describe the three basic economic questions each country must answer to make decisions about using their resources. Contrast the way a market economy and a command economy answer the three economic questions.

The Main Idea Scarcity of economic resources forces every country to develop an economic system that determines how resources will be used. Each economic system has its advantages and disadvantages.

Basic Economic Questions There are three basic Economic questions. economics the study of how individuals and groups of individuals strive to satisfy their needs and wants by making choices

Basic Economic Questions What should be produced? How should it be produced? Who should share in what is produced? Deciding to use a resource for one purpose means giving up the opportunity to use it for something else. This is called opportunity cost. The methods and labor used as well as the quality of items produced are important factors. In most societies, people can have as many goods and services as they can afford to buy.

Different Types of Economies Different economic systems answer the three basic economic questions in different ways. economic systems the methods societies use to distribute resources
