Block Day 1/14 & 15

Good Morning and Welcome -

Today is our block day and as promised we will be using our textbooks to learn about some key introductory economic concepts.  Last week we discussed a few key ideas.  Feel free to do a web search or refer to the textbook if you're not sure what the answer to the following questions are:


  1. What is the difference between Microeconomics and Macroeconomics?
  2. What exactly does scarcity refer to?  Can you give an example.
  3. Your friend says "I need some new clothes."  Under what conditions would this be considered a want?  Under what conditions would this be considered a need?
  4. Take a moment to list the four factors of production and an example of each.  Feel free to use our T-shirt example, the pencil example from pages 12-13, or another idea/example you come up with.
This should only take a moment.  We will get started shortly!

Thanks!
