Economics is all about how groups and individuals make choices and why
they choose the things that they do.
2. Economists have spent a great deal of time analyzing how groups make
choices, but because group choice behavior usually turns out to be very
similar to individual choice behavior, my focus in this chapter is on
individuals.
4. Human beings are constantly forced to choose because their wants almost
always exceed their means.
5. Limited resources, or scarcity, is at the heart not only of economics but also
of ecology and biology.
6. Darwinian evolution is all about animals and plants competing over limited
resources to produce the greatest number of offspring.
Эволюция Дарвина — это теория о животных и растениях,
конкурирующих за ограниченные ресурсы, чтобы произвести большое
количество потомства.
7. Economics is about human beings choosing among limited options to
maximize happiness.
9. You can gain a lot by studying choice behavior because if you can
understand the choices people made in the past, you stand a good chance of
understanding the choices they’ll make in the future.
12.And the choices these individuals make about how much of their paychecks
to save or spend affect whether interest rates will be high or low and also
whether gross domestic product (GDP) and overall economic output will
increase or decrease.
