What role does population growth play in scarcity?

Population growth leads to an increased demand for goods and services, further straining limited resources and contributing to scarcity.

Why are human desires considered unlimited?

Human desires are considered unlimited because people always want more goods, services, and better quality of life, which exceeds the capacity of available resources.

What impact does scarcity have on prices?

Scarcity can lead to an increase in prices as the demand for limited goods rises, making items more expensive.

How does scarcity affect competition?

Scarcity leads to competition as individuals and businesses vie to acquire the limited goods or resources available, often driving up the effort to secure them.
