Economic Principle: Scarcity -- How it forces us to make choices which result in opportunity cost. In your own words (don't quote the text), explain as completely as you can what an economist means by scarcity and opportunity cost. How do the 2 concepts relate? Link them. What do resources have to do with this? Are scarcity and shortage the same? Explain. What do economists mean when they cite opportunity cost and what's the connection between opportunity cost and scarcity? Why does economic theory argue that we can't "have it all"? Organization and a logical development is important. You cannot afford to use long winded examples here in the limited space. Choose your wording wisely
