    Khan Acadamy, we appreciate your endeavor to help, especially those who do not have an opportunity to learn or who need more money to buy learning or get an education with the disadvantages. You are doing great for free. That is so valuable that money can buy it.

    2. And, arguably, we wouldn't even need a field of economics, if there wasn't the notion of scarcity in the world.

    Based on the definition in the video, it feels like pretty much everything is scarce resource. It just depends how 'scarce' the resource is. To be free in my mind would be completely infinite, and there isn't really any object or concept I can think of that is truly infinite.

    Excellent explanation of complex economic concepts! The visual representation made it much easier to grasp. For those looking to dive deeper, platforms like SolutionInn, Chegg, and Course Hero offer detailed solutions, expert help, and study guides to reinforce your understanding of these topics. Khan Academy is also a fantastic resource for free tutorials that break down difficult subjects. These platforms work together to provide a comprehensive learning experience, making tough topics more approachable.

      @villevmakela Рік тому

      As explained in the video, there is no economy without scarcity. In order for economic growth to exist, there needs to be a growth of scarcity. So I see three possible outcomes:
      1. The market will naturally find its ways to create even more scarcity (for example by fueling the unlimited wants and desires or by managing the distribution of goods and purchasing power) that will outweigh the technological advances in the big picture.
      2. There will be another kind of economic system, where economic growth and scarcity are defined by something other than the means of production based on finite resources.
      3. There will no longer be a global economy as we know it.

    How does planned obsolescence affect scarcity?

    • @villevmakela
      @villevmakela Рік тому +1

      Scarcity is pretty much the relation between demand and supply, it is what defines the exchange value of products and it is what drives the economy as explained in the video. So, the more scarce a pruduct is, the higher the exchange value and the more economy is boosted. Planned obsolescence is one way of limiting supply of a product which consequently creates more scarcity, which in turn boosts the economy.

    • @mrpernickety3
      @mrpernickety3 7 років тому +7

      You could think of money as a resource that is scarce because we have money supply caps in countries. So you can't get all the money you want and everyone gets all the money they want because then the money would become worthless. So money is only valuable because people choose to put value in it and it is scarce (and therefore people have limited supply of it).

    Lol Khan Academy, but I disagree with his argument for scarcity. A scarce resource is only a resource who's demand, outweighs it's supply. He says "caviar" is a scarce resource, but I would say that's only scarce IF the demand for caviar is higher than the current supply of caviar. I know that in today's society many people want caviar, and there's not enough for everyone desire, making it scarce. But what if everyone stopped wanting caviar, would it still be scarce? I don't think it would.
