Microeconomics Introduction
...

Macroeconomics & Microeconomics:
Macroeconomics: It is the big picture stuff, economics on government level
...
It includes stuff like unemployment,
inflation, and GDP
...
It is the small-scale stuff
...
It can be considered as the allocation of scarce
resources
...
It is
better without a central plan
...

“A market economy is self-organising in the sense that when individuals act independently
to pursue their own self-interest, responding to prices set on open markets, they produce
co-ordinated and relatively efficient economic activity
...


Economic Concepts:
1) Scarcity: Scarcity is when things aren’t available as much as the demand
...
In other words things (resources) are limited
...
When making decisions on scarce
resources there are trade-offs
...

For example, taking a day off work to go to a concert
...
It is compromise made by the individual when they had two
desirable things to choose from which were incompatible
...

3) Opportunity cost of capital: this is the cost of obtaining a unit of one product in
terms of number of units of other products that could’ve been obtained instead
...
This
can be shown by a production possibility frontier/boundary
...
Movement from one point to another on the
boundary shows a shift in the amounts of goods being produced, which requires a
reallocation of resources
...
On the curve
are the best possible combinations that are attainable
...
This is
the trade-off between private sector
goods and public sector goods
...
