Text C
The study of economics is concerned with economic products — goods and services that are useful, relatively scarce and transferable to others. The important thing is that economic products are scarce in an economic sense. That is one cannot get enough to satisfy individual wants and needs1. The fact that economic products command a price shows that they have these characteristics.
The terms goods and services are used to describe many things people desire. Consumer goods are intended for2 final use by individuals to satisfy their wants and needs. Manufactured goods used to produce other goods and services are called capital goods3. An example of capital goods would be a computer in a school.
The other type of economic product is a work that is performed for someone. Services can include haircuts, repairs to home appliances4 and forms of entertainment like rock performances. They also include the work performed by doctors, lawyers and teachers. The difference between goods and services is that the services are something that cannot be touched or felt like goods.
Many other things — sunshine, rainfall, fresh air — are known as free products5 because they are so plentiful. No one could possibly own them, nor would most people be willing to pay anything for them. In fact, some are so important, that life would be impossible without them. Even so, free products are not scarce enough to be major concern in the study of economics.
