AP Economics: Choice

The Economic Perspective

* Scarcity and choice
o Resources can only be used for one purpose at a time.
o Scarcity requires that choices be made.
o The cost of any good, service, or activity is the value of what must be given up to obtain it.(opportunity cost).


Cf. Bade and Parkin, Chapter 1.1, 1.2.
