Question

Within economics, the theory of scarcity says that there are unlimited wants and a finite amount of resources. However, history has demonstrated the power of productivity to overcome the theory of scarcity. What is the economic practice responsible for overcoming scarcity?

Answer 1

According to the economists, the resources are scarce and human wants are unlimited. So, it is difficult to satisfy each and every want of people. But according to the theory of abundance, we can overcome from this problem by division and specialization of labor. If there is a proper division of labor according to their specialization then this will increase the productivity and one can produce more goods with the same level of resources.

From this economic practice, we can overcome from the problem of scarce resources.
