Defination of Economics (Part-one)

Scarcity and Economic Definition
📌 Scarcity is defined when wants are greater than limited resources (e.g., limited resources and capabilities versus unlimited desires).
💰 Economic study explains this concept of scarcity, which arises when the demand for something exceeds the ability to supply it given current limitations.
⏳ Human income is limited, while our wants are generally unlimited because as one want is satisfied, another emerges (e.g., upgrading to a new mobile phone model).

Types of Wants
💲 Monetary wants are needs that can be fulfilled by making a payment (e.g., buying tea).
🌬️ Non-monetary wants are desires that cannot be fulfilled through payment alone (e.g., wishing for rain when it is too humid).

Applying Scarcity: The Exam Example
⏱️ In an exam scenario, time is the limited resource, while the want is to maximize scores (objective).
🧠 Effective planning involves prioritizing questions based on perceived ease or knowledge level (e.g., attempting question 2, then 5, then 4) to best utilize the limited time resource to achieve the maximum possible score (objective).

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Scarcity is the fundamental economic problem where wants exceed limited resources like time or income.
➡️ Wants are classified into monetary (purchasable) and non-monetary (unpurchasable).
➡️ Economic concepts are illustrated by real-life scenarios, such as resource allocation under time constraints during an examination.
➡️ Optimization involves strategic planning to use limited resources (time) to best satisfy an unlimited want (achieving the highest score).
