Introduction to economicsMost people want more than they can afford to buy. If a family buys one thing, they may not be able to afford something else they would like. The same is true of nations. Whether a nation is rich or poor, most of its people want more than they can afford. They seek better schools, more houses and stronger armed forces. The field of economics studies the way the thing people need and want is made and brought to them. It also studies the way people and nations choose the things, they actually buy from among the many things they want.
Economists( specialist in economics) define economics as the study of how goods and services get produced and how they are distributed. By goods and services, economists mean every thing that can be bought and sold. By produced, they mean the processing and making of goods and services. By distributed, they mean the way goods and services are divided among the people.
In all countries, the resources used to produce goods and services are scarce. That is, no nation, has enough farms, factories, or workers to produce everything that everyone would like. Money is also scarce. Few people have enough money to buy everything they want when they want it. Therefore, people everywhere most choose the best possible way to use their resources and money. Children may have to choose whether to spend their allowances on a motion picture or a hamburger. Storekeepers may have to choose whether to take a summer vacation or to use their savings to buy more merchandise. A nation may have to choose whether to use tax money to build more submarines. In economic terms, the children, the storekeepers, and the nation all must economize in order to satisfy their most important needs and wants. This means they must try to use the resources they have to produce the things they most want.
How the Economy Grows
An economy must grow to provide people with an increasing standard of living- that is, more and better goods and services. In general, the faster a country?Ts economy grows, the faster its standard of living rises.
Making the Economy Grow
Four main elements make it possible for nations to produce goods and services. These elements, called productive resource, are(1) natural resources(2) capital,(3) labor force, and(4) technology. Economists define natural resources as all land and raw material, such as mineral, water and sunlight. Capital includes, factories, tools, supplies, and equipment. The word capital also means the money that can be used to buy these things. Labor force means all people who work or are seeking work, and their education and skills. Technology refers to scientific and business research and inventions.
In order to grow, a nation?Ts economy must add to its productive resources. For example, a nation must use some of its resources to build factories, heavy equipment and other capital goods. Then these capital goods can help produce more goods in the future. A nation also must locate and develop ad***ional resources, create new technologies, and train scientists, workers, and business managers, who will direct future production. The knowledge of these people is known as human capital.
Measuring Economic Growth
The value of all goods and services produced in any year makes up a nation?Ts gross national product. An economy?Ts rate of growth is measure by the change in its gross national product over a period of years. The U.S gross national product, when adjusted for inflation, has increased at an average rate of about 3 percent each for the past hundred years. Another way of measuring a nation?Ts economic growth is to measure the standard of living of its people. To judge standard of living, economists sometimes divide a nation?Ts total gross national product by its entire population. The resulting figure is called the per capita GNP. In 1981, the per capita GNP of the United States was US$12, 820. That is, if all the goods and services produced in the United States that year were divided evenly among all the people, each person would receive about US$12,820 worth. About three-fourth of the world?Ts people live in developing countries, which had an average per capita GNP of US$730 in the early 1980?Ts.
The World Economy
Through world trade and finance, the United States and other nations depend on each other for many vital goods and services. Economists study economic relations among nations. They look for ways to improve and extend international trade. They also study the problems of developing countries in an effort to raise living standards in many parts of the world.
World Trade
Nations can gain by trading with one another because the resources of the world are not distributed evenly. For example, Australia has excellent grazing land for livestock, and Chile has rich mineral deposits. World production would be greater if each nation specialized in producing the goods it could provide most easily and imported the goods it found difficult and expensive to produce.
Despite the advantages of world trade, nations have tried to limit imports and produce many of their own goods and services for hundreds of years. Many nations fear that specializing in a few products would make them too dependent on other countries. In case of war, their supplies of essential goods and services might be cut off. Business people often argue that their industries should be protected from foreign competition. Otherwise, they say, foreign producers might gain monopolies over certain products and raise prices. Many people insist that a nation can increase employment and help avoid depression by limiting imports and developing its own industries.
Nations use many methods to restrict trade. The two most important methods are(1) tariffs and(2) import quotas. A tariff is a tax on imported goods. It raises the price of product from other countries. An import quota allows only a certain quality of an item to be imported each year.
The United States and many other nations have worked to increase world trade. In 1957, six European nations formed the European Economic Community( EEC), also called the European Common Market, to remove all trade barriers among themselves. Since then, several other nations have joined the EEC. Many less developed countries still use high tariffs to protect their industries.
World Finance
Trade within a country involves only one kind of currency, such as dollars in the United States or pounds in Great Britain. Trade among countries may involve many kinds of currencies. For this reason, business firms and governments use an international system of banking and finance to exchange one kind of currency for another.
Suppose an American importer owes a British manufacture 1,000 pounds for a shipment of English bicycles. The importer pays the manufacturer with a special kind of check for 1,000 pounds. This check is called a foreign bill of exchange. The importer buys the check from a bank or some other foreign-exchange dealer. The price in dollars that the importer pays for the foreign exchange depends on the current exchange rate for British pounds. An exchange rate is the price of one currency.
Until the early 1970?Ts, the government of most nations specifies the rate of exchange for their currencies. Sometimes government devalued( lowered the value of) their money in an effort to increase foreign sales. But in the early 1980?Ts, some nations adopted a system of floating exchange rates. Under the system, the price of a nation?Ts currency rises and falls in relation to the world demand for it. If the demand for British pounds goes up, the price of the pound goes up. If the demand for the British pounds falls, the price of the pound falls.
Most nations keep record of their commercial and financial dealings with other nations. The total amount of goods and services plus money and gold that flow into and out of a country during a given period makes up the country?Ts balance of payments. If a country pays out more money to other countries than it receives from other countries, it has a deficit in its balance of payments. If a country receives more money than it spends, it has a surplus in its balance of payments
.
From the early 1900?Ts to the early 1980?Ts, exports from the United States generally exceeded imports and helped the nation develop a surplus in its balance of payments. During the early. 1980?Ts however, the United States bought much more goods and services from abroad than it sold to other nations, and experi-enced deficits in its balance of payments.
Developing Economies
About three-fourths of the world?Ts people live in developing countries. Most such nations are in Africa, Asia , and Latin America, and are poor. In a developing country, many people have barely enough to eat. They live in crude houses and have few clothes. Most of the people in such countries are farmers. But they have few agricultural tools or machines to develop the land.
Poverty and overpopulation make it difficult to improve con***ions in developing areas. The people use what little resources they have just trying to keep alive. Few resources are then available to invest in factories, equipment, schools and highways. In many areas, the population grows so quickly that there is not enough land of natural resources *****pport all the people. And many of the people in such areas lack the knowledge and skills that are necessary to make the best use of their resources.
Many wealthier nations are helping the developing countries improve their economies. For example, the United States has given billions of dollars in loans and gifts to needy nations. American and European businesses have invested large sums in building industries in poorer countries. Many nations have also developed technical assistance programs. Under the programs, experts visit developing nations to train and educate people. Largely through their own efforts, some developing countries have enjoyed rapid economic growth. For example, the economies of Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, and Singapore are among the most rapidly growing economies in the world.
