Category - Economics

The basic, fundamental problem of economics is:
  1. Income distribution.
  2. Scarcity.
  3. Economic growth.
  4. Global division of labor.
Explanation
Answer: B - Scarcity is the basic problem of economics. People have unlimited wants but, since resources are limited, there is fundamentally not enough product to meet the collective demand for products. Scarcity necessitates that people and companies make decisions about how they should allocate their resources, so that they can maximize their personal or organizational satisfaction.
