章节摘录
版权页:插图:The management of socety's resources is important because resources arescarce. Scarcity means that society has limited resources and therefore cannot pro-duce all the goods and services people wish to have. Just as a household cannotgive every member everything he or she wants, a society cannot give every indi-vidual the highest standard of living to which he or she might aspire.Econonucs is the study of how society manages its scarce resources. In most so-cieties, resources are allocated not by a single central planner but through the com-bined actions of millions of households and firms. Economists therefore study howpeople make decisions: how much they work, what they buy, how much theysave, and how they invest their savings. Economists also study how people inter-act with one another. For instance, they examine how the multitude of buyers andsellers of a good together determine the price at which the good is sold and thequantity that is sold. Finally, economists analyze forces and trends that affectthe economy as a whole, including the growth in average income, the fraction ofthe population that cannot find work, and the rate at which prices are rising.Although the study of economics has many facets, the field is unified by severalcentral ideas. In the rest of this chapter, we look at Ten Principles of Economics. Don'tworry if you don't understand them all at first, or if you don't find them completelyconvincing. In the coming chapters we will explore these ideas more fully. The tenprinciples are introduced here just to give you an overview of what economics is allabout. You can think of this chapter as a "preview of coming attractions."
