Examples:
o
Guns (national security) vs. butter
(goods/productivity) the more a
society spends on national defense to
protect its shores from foreign
aggressors, the less it can spend on
consumer goods to raise the standard
of living
o
Clean environment vs. high level of
income (factories) firms are required
to reduce pollution so they raise prices.
Because of the higher costs, the firms
end up earning smaller profits, paying
lower wages and/or charging higher
prices
o
Efficiency (is the economy getting the
most out of its scarce resources? Or are
they being wasted?) vs. equity/equality
(how fair is the distribution of products
between different members of society?)
these two goals often conflict when
government policies are designed (ex.
Welfare system or unemployment
insurance those who do not work are
being paid/given salary by the
government; when the government
redistributes income from the rich to
the poor, it reduces the reward for
working hard result: people work less
and produce fewer goods and services;
when the government tries to cut the
economic pie into more equal slices, the
pie gets smaller
The cost of something is what you give up to get it
Example:
People respond to incentives
