What is meant by the term economic resources? In general, these are all the natural, man-made, and
human resources that go into the production of goods and services. Economic resources can be
brokendown into (23) general categories: property resource - land and capital, and human
resources - labor and entrepreneurial skills.
What do economists mean (24) land? Much more than the non-economist, land
refers to all the natural resources (25) are usable in the production process: arable land, forests,
mineral and oil deposits, and so on. What about capital? Capital goods are all the manmade aids to
producing, storing, transporting, and distributing goods and services. Capital goods differ from
consumer goods in that (26) satisfy wants directly, while the former do so indirectly by
facilitating the production of consumer goods. It should be noted that capital as defined here does not
refer to money. Money, as such, produces nothing.
The term labor refers to the physical and mental talents of humans used to produce goods and
services (with the exception of a certain set of human talents, entrepreneurial skills, which will be
considered separately because of their special significance). Thus the services of a factory worker or
an office worker, a ballet dancer or an astronaut all fall (27) the general heading of labor.

Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial, language. It was created more than a century
ago by Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common language
would help to alleviate some of the misunderstandings among cultures.
In Zamenhof’s first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as
uncomplicated as possible. This first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, eb, be, and ce. This
did not result in a workable language in that these monosyllabic words, though short, were not easy to
understand or to retain.
Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He made the words
in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar
tremendously. One example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in
this language end in o, as in the noun amiko, which means “friend”, and all adjectives end in -a, as in
the adjective bela, which means “pretty”. Another example of the simplified language can be seen in
the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means
“enemy”, and the word malbela therefore means “ugly” in Zamenhof’s language.
In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it. He used a pen name,
Dr. Esperanto, when signing the book. He selected the name Esperanto because this word means “a
person who hopes” in his language. Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout Europe, and by
1950, Esperanto had spread from Europe to America and Asia.
In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately 700
attendees from 20 different countries. Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000
attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World
War I erupted and forced its cancellation.
