The Cost of Scarcity

Your entire reality is controlled by one terrifying concept called scarcity. It means you have

infinite wants but the world has limited resources, so you are forced to make painful

choices every single day. That is what economics actually is. It is not just boring

stock charts. It is the study of how we survive. We built this massive machine called the

market to fix it, but it is flawed. We measure success with GDP, which counts the

products we make but completely ignores if we are actually happy. So next time you

buy something, remember you are not just spending money, you are trading

a piece of your limited life for it.
