Scarcity: unlimited needs/wants, limited resources
We WILL run out of resources
Population is growing so fast it will out-pace food supply

When population outpaces food supply, chaos will ensue
People will overthrow governments and kill each other
The only way to prevent this from happening is to limit our population

Jeremy Bentham
“Hippy” of the economic theorists
“Father of Utilitarianism”
Theory of Utility: whenever a decision must be made on a course of action, always choose the path that results in the great amount of happiness for the greatest number of people

ExampleShould I can watch tv? Or study for
global? Consider:
Option 1 (tv): I am happy. Option 2 (study): I don’t like it. My parents are
happy. My teacher is happy. I receive human capital.
Based on the theory of utility – Bentham would say choose option 2
