    Economics is the study of scarcity resources which means our needs exceed our limited resources available to fulfil this needs , And there is difference between needs and wants , needs is the basic things for survival like water and food but wants are things that complement our life and not necessary for survival like expensive car, apartment .
    Economics is classified into two things Micro economics and Macroeconomics .

    In the space of scarce resources economics deals with four main problems or questions:
    1.Consumption, how and why decide for particular goods?
    2.Allocation, or how to decide efficiently?
    3.Distribution, or who receives the economic results and why?
    4.Order and Institutions, or what is the most convenient framework to act in?
    The mentioned subdisciplines consider these problems from different perspectives.
    Great video.

    0:18 - Every time someone tells me whatever I'm talking about is "hard" or "too hard" I think to myself - Maybe is hard for you, or for someone who won't even start it for thinking is "hard", or for a beginner, but everyone starts from a point and if you start thinking it's "hard" you will never even start it, will never stop being a beginner and it will never became "easy" for you.

    A pretty solid explanation of fundamental economics. Excellent work reducing a complicated subject into a simple and concise description. Your contrast of positive and normative economics was highly clear and simple to comprehend. Overall, I think this is an excellent introduction to economics, and I'd love to hear some of your more in-depth economic studies.

    its the purpose driven use of how a society functions within its capacity to combine its time, money, resources and expertise towards its needs and the study of how that becomes possible and how that changes. Its sociology of how and why countries grow to their own benefit and how global economic growth represents what is growing.

      Here's the simplest way to explain it:
      1) People make choices.
      2) Economists study those choices.
      Two hundred years ago, economists only studied the choices that people made in the marketplace. However, in the twentieth century they branched out into studying all human choice. Economics is the study of choice.

    We never compared or even contrasted our countries economic standpoint/ exports imports compared to other countries, we never studied consumer consumption in our country compared to anothers. We never looked at a producers economic outlook business wise , we never looked at what most people can afford vs what items might be considered luxurious in other areas. We never applied any of the data we learned either in any real way.
