Economics has not solved scarcity; scarcity still exists in the world. There are a number of countries in which food and water are scarce, along with other necessities and conveniences of life. Economics can provide useful theories about how to manage an economy, but theories alone do not solve problems such as scarcity. We do know how to solve problems in theory, provided that we can get enough people to comply with the requirements of that theory. We know, for example, that the population should not continue to grow beyond the food production capacity of the world. But that knowledge is not preventing people from having excessive numbers of children. People seldom plan their personal lives on the basis of the long-term requirements of the world as a whole.
