Basic Economic Language and Factors of Production

This section covers fundamental economic terminology and the four key factors of production that drive economic activity.

Definition: Goods are tangible items that satisfy wants, while services are intangible tasks people pay others to perform.

Highlight: The four factors of production are land (natural resources), labor (physical work), capital (produced goods used as resources), and entrepreneurship (business talent).

Example: Utility refers to satisfaction or happiness derived from goods/services, while disutility brings dissatisfaction.

Market Structures

This section details different types of market structures and their characteristics, from perfect competition to monopolistic competition.

Definition: A perfectly competitive market has many buyers/sellers, identical products, well-informed participants, and easy market entry/exit.

Vocabulary: A commodity is a product that's the same regardless of who produces it.

Example: Monopolistic competition involves product differentiation, such as cheeseburgers vs. hamburgers or different cellular providers.

Credit Systems and Management

This section explores credit arrangements, types, and evaluation criteria.

Definition: Credit is an arrangement to receive cash or goods with future payment.

Economic Systems and Basic Questions

This section explores fundamental economic concepts and different systems for organizing economic activity. The three core economic questions that every society must answer revolve around what goods to produce, how to produce them, and who receives them.

Definition: An economic system is the way a society decides to answer its economic questions.

Example: In a free enterprise system, individuals decide how resources are used, while in socialism, the government controls many resources.

Highlight: Globalization means events in one part of the world affect individuals and businesses elsewhere.

Vocabulary: Labor theory of value states that all value from produced goods comes from labor input.
