Economics for Leaders
Human Prosperity and social cooperation develop spontaneously in societies that protect property rights and encourage voluntary trade/exchange.
Developing an economic way of thinking empowers people to understand and explain the world in which we live.

Economics for Leaders
Opinions matter and are of equal value at the ballot box. But on matters of rational deliberation the value of an opinion is determined by the knowledge and evidence on which it is based.
Statements of opinion should initiate the quest for economic understanding, not end it.
Economic Reasoning Principle #5: Understanding based on knowledge and evidence imparts value to opinions.

Economics for Leaders
The rules of the game shape how decisions are made.
Decisions determine outcomes.
People respond to incentives in predictable ways.

Economics for Leaders
Something is scarce if society cannot have all it wants at no cost.
By cost we mean OPPORTUNITY COST.
Some things are more scarce than others.
Relative scarcity is determined by what must be given up.
Scarcity
![Page 20: Economics for Leaders](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130a8550346895d96aea5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Economics for Leaders
Because the world is characterized by scarcity, we are forced to make choices.
We must allocate scarce resources among competing uses.
Wood that is used for tables and chairs cannot be used for crutches (or forest).
Land that is kept undeveloped cannot be used to build housing for the poor.
Time
Choices

Economics for Leaders
Because we are forced to make choices (scarcity), we are faced with costs.
The cost of any choice is what is given up.
Choosing is REFUSING!
Opportunity Cost

Economics for Leaders
Economic Reasoning Principle #1: People choose, and individual choices are the source of social outcomes.
Scarcity necessitates choices: not all of our desires can be satisfied. People make these choices based on their perceptions of the expected costs and benefits of the alternatives.
![Page 29: Economics for Leaders](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130a8550346895d96aea5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Economics for Leaders
Economic Reasoning Principle # 2: Choices impose costs; people receive benefits and incur costs when they make decisions.
The cost of a choice is the value of the next-best alternative foregone, measurable in time or money or some alternative activity given up.
What did you give up to be here?

Economic Reasoning Principle # 3: People respond to incentives in predictable ways.
Choices are influenced by incentives, the rewards that encourage and the punishments that discourage actions. When incentives change, behavior changes in predictable ways.
People do what makes them better off.
Marginal Benefit, Marginal Cost (MB > MC).

The benefit (value) of the next one will eventually be lower.
Diminishing marginal benefit (value).
Value is based on benefit received.
Rolos, Washing machines, automobiles, houses, vacations.

"What is YOUR solution?“
"There are no solutions," I said. "There are only trade-offs.“
"The people DEMAND solutions!" she shot back angrily.
The people can demand square circles if they want. But that doesn't mean that they will get them.
Quote From Thomas Sowell
Opportunity Cost!
