The resources of the planet are used to meet human need, rather than wasted on the money system, law enforcement and wars. It would be straightforward to grow enough food to feed everyone, but there is not enough profit in doing so. Nobody has unlimited wants.

The noun 'scarcity' is a word for not enough to satisfy what is needed; the resources are finite, cannot meet the need, which is infinite.

That’s not a fact, it’s a fantasy. There are obvious limits to the amount of food, shoes, CDs etc than people can want.
demand will always be greater than supply
Economic growth cannot eliminate scarcity and choice. There are no resources that are infinite.Egoism and its 'rational' variant 'capitalism' have a very simple basic principleRead more: Scarcity_and_choice

A person wants an endless supply of everything but cannot have it.
Where resources are finite, or require active distribution, they can become unavailable in the quantities needed or desired, at least in some locations. Scarcity (a lack of sufficient supply) can strongly influence changes in an economy, especially scarcity of vital resources such as food, clothing, and housing. Scarcity can be eliminated through technology. All matter in the universe came from somewhere. What may be considered scarce or in limited supply such as raw materials is only a reality because of our lack of discovery or ingenuity. Our current dilemma of scarcity as perceived in an economic paradigm is simply a natural flaw of that paradigm. Therefore, scarcity is truly a matter of perception.
