Coordinating human wants and desires with the available resources is more important than scarcity.
Coordination refers to how to use limited resources for unlimited wants. It also refers to how the three central economic problems (what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce) can be solved. Solving these economic problems is complicated, but is an important task.
