1. How to allocate scarce resources among unlimited wants and 2. how to decide what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce.
Financial systems may fail to allocate resources to their most desirable use due to inefficient market information, regulatory constraints, conflicts of interest, asymmetrical information, or external shocks like economic crises or natural disasters. These factors can distort decision-making processes and prevent resources from flowing efficiently to their optimal uses.
An economist primarily studies how people allocate resources to produce goods and services efficiently within society. They analyze factors such as supply and demand, market behavior, and economic systems to understand the production and distribution of resources.
The uneven distribution of resources on Earth can be attributed to factors such as physical geography, historical events, political systems, economic development, and globalization. Natural resources are not evenly distributed across the planet, leading to disparities in access and availability. Additionally, human activities and systems of trade have further shaped the distribution of resources over time.

Europe utilized their colonial resources in Africa by exploiting natural resources such as minerals, timber, and agricultural products for economic gain.

Additionally, European powers imposed their own political systems and control over African territories to further their political interests and expand their influence in the region.
When the two or more process run simultaneously at same time, the systems allocate the resources to both the process, so that both the process can run unitteruptly, this phenomenon is called Interprocess Communication.
That's like asking how can the presence of lungs and other vital organs affect life if their was no air being breathed by a human. The organs, like resources, are nice, but do nothing without air or an economic system to power them. Natural Resources are neither sufficient or necessary for economic development in any one particular country. Economic systems explain why resource rich Nigeria is dirt poor, while resource scarce nations like Japan are filthy rich. However, if all nations had the same economic system, then the nation with natural resources would of course be richer in real terms. The textbook explanation is that resource presence increase a nation's Long Run Supply, or Production Possibilities. However, there is no guarantee that the nation will actually put these resources to use, and fulfill their potential economic development.
