Scarcity refers to the fact that resources (land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship) are limited, while wants and needs are unlimited. This means that there are not enough resources to produce all the goods and services that people want and need, which leads to trade-offs and choices. Therefore, individuals, firms, and societies are constrained by scarcity and cannot produce an unlimited amount of goods and services, no matter how efficiently or effectively they use their resources. Unemployment, waste, and irrational behavior may exacerbate or aggravate scarcity, but they are not its root cause.
