问题 The Central Problem of Economics
The central problem of economics is to satisfy the people’s and nation’s wants.
The problem we are faced with is that our resources, here identified as money, are(51). The only way we can resolve our problem is to make choices. After looking at our resources, we must examine our list of(52)and identify the things we need immediately, those we can postpone, and(53)we cannot afford. As individuals, we face the central problem involved in economics--deciding just how to allocate (分配) our limited resources to provide ourselves with the greatest(54)of our wants.

Resources necessary to production may increase, but there are(56)enough resources to satisfy the total desires of a nation.

In the 1990s, almost all goods are(63). Only by effort and money can they be(64)in the form people wish.
Meeting the needs of people and the demands from resources available leads to the basic activity of production. In trying to(65)unlimited wants from limited economic goods, production leads to new problems in economics.
