Understanding Economics – Limited Resources, Unlimited Demand

The so-called economic problem can be simply stated: How do you allocate limited resources in the face of unlimited demand? The Malthusian Challenge points to the discrepancy between growth of food (an arithmetic progression) and the growth of population (a geometric progression). Much of economics may be understood in terms of incentives, including the so-called law of supply and demand and questions of self-interest. We address the troubling issue of inequality: causes, consequences, and considerations.  Speaker: Dr. Arthur Wenk
