"economics, Social science that analyzes and describes the consequences of choices made concerning scarce productive resources.

Economics is the study of how individuals and societies choose to employ those resources:

1. What goods and services will be produced,
2. How they will be produced, and
3. How they will be distributed among the members of society."

Assignment - Time 1 week:

As you go about your daily and weekly activities notice what goods (ice cream?) & services (massages?) you like to purchase verses others.

Think about how these good & services are produced, i.e. what sort of business model makes them available to you and your community for purchase? Farm production? Education? Automated production?

Make notes of your observations in a notebook.
