Explanation • Divided into two divisions: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics • Economics is anything that has to do with goods being produced, distributed, or consumed • Scarcity is when there is a finite amount of resources. Nature doesn’t provide as much as people want • Scarcity affects the production area of economics • When there are limited resources, we must control how much we produce, so we don’t run out

The proceeds from the stock market are poured back into companies, which use the money to improve efficiency and productivity. • Many stock exchanges only sell stocks that meet trading criteria, such as a certain amount of money earned by the company per year.

  35. Connections • The DOW is to the stock market as a corollary is to a theorem, in that the DOW can’t exist without the stock market. Yeahhh! I earned a penny!

  45. CREDIT CARDS Credit card issuers give credit cards to people as a system of payment based on the cardholder’s promise to pay for them. The issuer creates an account and grants a “line of credit” from which the cardholder can borrow.

  46. CREDIT CARD INTEREST The main way in which credit card issuers generate revenue. Card issuers are normally banks or credit unions. The bank pays the cardholder and then charges the cardholder interest over the time the money remains borrowed.
