Economics




"Economics" has been called "the science of how people make a living." We all have to make a living! Shouldn't we all understand something about economics? Often, though, when people talk about Economics, the words seem to get all twisted around! How do we even know what's being talked about?

Here's an exercise to give you a taste of how you'll approach things in our Understanding Economics course. Below are twelve images of things one might encounter in our day-to-day economy. There are four images on the screen, labeled Land, Capital, Labor and Other.

Drag each item into the range you think it ought to go in. But be careful! If you don't place it in the correct range (according to our Economic Definitions), it won't stick there. You'll have to try again. And there's another trick to watch out for: some of the items might incorporate two of the factors. In that case, they'll only stick to the correct boundary line between those two factors.

Father: Time to eat!
Daughter: Coming. Oh, I'mstarving. [Good, good.] Oh yuck! What's that?
Father: Ah, now don't complain!
Daughter: But what is it, and where is mom?
Father: Now, mom put me in charge of dinner because she's not feeling well tonight.
Daughter: But what is it . . . and that smell!
Father: It's pizza. I just followed an old family recipe here, and . . .
Daughter: Let me see that . . . Oh, Dad. [What?] You're missing a page!
Father: Oh, uh, well, uh . . . well I couldn't find the second page of the recipe, but don't worry. I have plenty of experience around the house. Plenty of experience cooking.
Daughter: That's not what mom says.
Father: Well, wait, wait, here let me try a piece first. Here, let me, let me cool this off here. Ohhh, yeah. Oh, this is great stuff.
Daughter: Yeah right. Why are you making that face?
Father: Well, well, it's just, just a little rich for me. That's all.
Daughter: Let me try it Dad. Uh. Dad. You put a little too much salt in it and besides it's burned. [Well . . . ] And what's that?
Father: Oh, well, well, that's just part of my own adaptation to the recipe. I added some pumpkin.
Daughter: Oh, not another one of your surprises. Pumpkin doesn't go on pizza!
Father: Well, okay, well, so what? Uh, what do we do now?
Daughter: Well, how about some cold cereal . . . You can't mess up on that, Dad.
