| Economics is best defined as the study of ((how people make choices in the face of scarcity and the implications of those choices for society as a whole)). |
| Economics is best defined as the study of ((choice in the face of limited resources)). |
| Economists recognize that because people have limited resources ((they have to make trade-offs)). |
| The Scarcity Principle states that ((with limited resources, having more of one thing means having less of another)). |
| An implication of scarcity is that ((people must make trade-offs)). |
| If all the world's resources were to magically increase one hundredfold, then ((people would still have to make trade-offs)). |
