How does the ppf illustrate scarcity?
Value and scarcity. In order to possess value, an article must be scarce. That is, it must be so limited in quantity that those who have it are able to get something else in exchange for it. Air, which has great utility, seldom has any value. There is so much of it that ordinarily everyone can have any quantity without having to pay anyone for it. But under certain conditions, air does have value. A good illustration is compressed air, which is bought and sold.
Where is opportunity cost on a production possibility frontier?
The opportunity cost would be the slope of the PPF. So the opportunity cost of the good on the x axis is in terms of the good on the y axis. This is why we would say a PPF demonstrates increasing marginal opportunity cost when it is curved outward
Can you compare the relationship between scarcity and the need for choices?
They imply each other and is a necessary consequence. When there is scarcity, in which the resources avaible are not enough to satisfy the human wants, people will need to make choices. So, scarcity will inevitably lead to the need for choices, although the scarcity problem will not be resolved even one has made their choice.
Economics is the science of scarcity and choice explain?
That description fails to account for the fact that so much human activity under capitalism is matter of being forced to do something, not a matter of choice. For instance, the majority of people are forced to sell their ability to work for a wage. And scarcity is an artificial situation caused by capitalism’s rule of no profit- no production.
Multiplicity of wants and scarcity of means are two foundation stones of economics?
Economic problem in essence is the problem of scarcity of resources in comparison with human wants. In everyday life, we encounter many economic problems, poverty, unemployment, inflation etc, but if we start analyzing them, we will find that every problem has it's roots in the fundamental problem of scarcity of resources. Scarcity forces choices in consumption and production of goods. Scarcity creates conflicts. Scarcity means that not every body is getting everything he wants and there will be losers and winners. Scarcity arises because of two underlying conditions: Physical condition, that is, limited productive resources and a mental condition that is , unlimited wants. Physical limits do not alone-establish scarcity-in an economic sense. It is the human wants which make resources insufficient. Wants are unlimited, people want much more than just necessities. So the bitter fact is economic problem is permanent.

Importance of scarcity?
Do you mean scarcity in civics terms, as in the inability to satisfy all of the wants of people? If so, there is technically no positive part to scarcity. With scarcity, the wants and the needs of people are unable to be fulfilled through supply and demand. So, in other words, there is no positive importance to scarcity. The only good thing that could come from it is learning from our mistakes.
