QUÉ SIGNIFICA SCARCE EN INGLÉS

Escasez

Scarcity

La escasez es el problema económico fundamental de tener necesidades humanas aparentemente ilimitadas en un mundo de recursos limitados. Afirma que la sociedad tiene recursos productivos insuficientes para satisfacer todos los deseos y necesidades humanas. Un concepto erróneo común sobre la escasez es que un artículo tiene que ser importante para que sea escaso. Sin embargo, esto no es cierto, para que algo sea escaso, tiene que ser difícil de obtener, difícil de crear, o ambos. En pocas palabras, el costo de producción de algo determina si es escaso o no. Por ejemplo, aunque el aire es más importante para nosotros que los diamantes, es más barato simplemente porque el costo de producción del aire es cero. Los diamantes por otro lado tienen un alto costo de producción. Tienen que ser encontrados y procesados, ambos que requieren mucho dinero. Además, la escasez implica que no todos los objetivos de la sociedad pueden ser perseguidos al mismo tiempo; Las compensaciones se hacen de un bien contra otros. En un influyente ensayo de 1932, Lionel Robbins definió la economía como "la ciencia que estudia el comportamiento humano como una relación entre fines y medios escasos que tienen usos alternativos". En biología, la escasez puede referirse a la falta de conveniencia o rareza de ciertas especies.

Scarcity is the fundamental economic problem of having seemingly unlimited human wants in a world of limited resources. It states that society has insufficient productive resources to fulfill all human wants and needs. A common misconception on scarcity is that an item has to be important for it to be scarce. However, this is not true, for something to be scarce, it has to be hard to obtain, hard to create, or both. Simply put, the production cost of something determines if it is scarce or not. For example, although air is more important to us than diamonds, it is cheaper simply because the production cost of air is zero. Diamonds on the other hand have a high production cost. They have to be found and processed, both which require a lot of money. Additionally, scarcity implies that not all of society's goals can be pursued at the same time; trade-offs are made of one good against others. In an influential 1932 essay, Lionel Robbins defined economics as "the science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses." In biology, scarcity can refer to the uncommonness or rarity of certain species.
