SCARCITY

SCARCITY is the condition of not being able to have all of the goods and services that you want.

Because of scarcity, people must choose
some things and give up others.

Example: Alicia must choose how to use her scare time. Should she eat, do her math, or play with her cat? She has to make a decision.
