, Introduction
Our lives are defined by our choices, at least fundamentally. Yes we do fac
challenges that are beyond our control [e.g., scarcity], however, it is up to
to use opportunities before us efficiently in order to fulfill our goals. For
example, the fact that you are an Economics student means that you had
forgo studying Medicine or Astronomy. In other words, because time is a
scarce resource, you had to make a choice that satisfies you the most─ an
that is studying Economics.

Firms face the same problem, because they can not afford to produce all
goods and services that consumers demand, they have to, first, produce
goods that yield more profit─ or goods that are associated with less
opportunity cost. Then, secondly, firms have to use their resources
efficiently.
