Economics is all about solving the problem of scarcity.
Economists cannot cause resources to suddenly stop
being scarce. Still, they can help us find the best ways
to use our scarce resources to get the best satisfaction
possible. Economics is concerned with describing the
economic activity. Description answers the "what"
aspect of economics. It describes the world in terms of
wants and resources. For instance, you may have
heard of GDP and the oil market. GDP is an
economist's way of describing what a country's
economy is worth. It involves all the goods and services
produced by a country.
