What is money?
• For an economist, money does not qualify as
productive resources, have no value in itself.
The role of money is to act as a means of
exchange.
• The only value that money has is that it can be
used to obtain the wealth which we produce,
using our economic resources of land, labour,
capital and enterprise

Fundamental Economic Problem
• Scarcity, is the fundamental economic
problem.
• The cumulative total of all human wants
is unlimited but the resources available to
satisfy these wants are strictly limited.
Thus, the quantity of goods and services
which we can produce to satisfy our
wants is limited. 14

Answers the question: What is the Maximum Production Capacity
The Goal of this model is to maximize employment & minimize the resource utilization

• Points on line use the maximum use of resource
• Points above are unattainable

Rational economic behaviour
• Economists base their theories and predictions of human
behaviour on the assumption that economic agents, whether the
individual consumer, the firm, the local authority or government,
make decision in a rational way.
• Individual try to maximize the satisfaction of their wants through
consumption, the entrepreneur or business tries to maximize the
profits it makes from production, and local and central
government try to maximize the general welfare of their
respective populations. 18

• How and where to produce what we want?
• How will the output of goods and services
produced be distributed (Shared out) among
the population?
