chapter 1 the nature of the economic problem . 1.1 Finite resources and unlimited wants What stops people enjoying all the procucts they would like to have is a lack ot resources to produce them Resources, including workers and machinery, are scarce This means that they are lmited in supply The economic problem of not being able to satisty everyone's wants arises because of this scarcity There is no limit to people's wants - they are infinite. For instance. people want more and better clothing, healthcare and improved transport infrastructure. The number of workers, machines, offices, factories, raw matertials and land used to produce these goods and services, however, is finite Atany aiven ime. forexample, there are only a limited number of workers, and they can produce only oecified amount. This misnatch, between what people want and the maximumthats beproduced, gives rise to the economic problem. Choices have to be made abouthowtsurces are to be used. The continuing nature of the economic problem Scarcity continues to exist More goods and services are being produced today than ever before, but the growth in wants is exceeding the growth of econcmic resources. People still want more products than the resources available can produce Over a period of time, wants continue to grow and change The economic problem in different contexts The fact that people have to choose which products to buy, which subjects to study, what jobs to do and which products to produce shows that there are insufficient resources. As consumers, we cannot have everything we want We have limited incomes. Students have to select which courses to study. It is not possible to study economics and chernistry at the same time Workers have to make choices about whatjobs they do. Some teachers may carry out other work in the evening, but when they are teaching they are not working as writers! Time is in limited supply. Producers have to decide what to make. Farmers cannot grow rice and wheat on the same land They have to select one crop as land is scarce. The government has to decide how to spend tax revenue Deciding to build a new hospital may mean that it cannot build a new school.

(Verse 1) Nakilala kita, December 22 Sa dance floor, I caught a glimpse of you. Nag high rin nung bumalik sa lamesa, Pero ‘di mo ko trip, sabi ng tropa. (Verse 2) January 4, nagkita ulit, Sa pintuan naghintay, naglakas ng loob ulit. Nalasing tayong dalawa, sabay nahulog, Isang halik, simula ng kwento nating buo. (Pre-Chorus) At tinatawag mo ‘kong Tito, pero minsan Baby rin, Matatawa ka sa jokes ko, pero sa text, ang cold mo rin. Pag mag kasama, ikaw ang clingy, At pag nag luluto ako, sumasaya ka lagi. (Chorus) Will you say yes, o maghihintay pa ‘ko? Kahit malayo, ba byahe pa rin ako. Luto ng sinigang, may bulaklak sa kamay, Para lang ipakita na tapat ang aking buhay. So tell me, Sophia, matapos ng lahat, Pwede bang sabihin mo, ikaw at ako na nga? (Verse 3) Suot mo hoodie ko, inaamoy mo na naman, Naka upo sa upuan ko, parang may sariling tahanan. Pitong taon ang pagitan natin, pero ‘di ko ramdam, Tawanan, kulitan, tayo lang ang may alam. (Pre-Chorus) Gusto mo Batangeño accent ko, pati amoy ng damit, Kapag naiinis, isang lambing lang, di na galit. Kapag may sakit ka, dadalhan ng pagkain, At kahit anong mangyari, ‘di kita papabayaan pa rin. (Chorus) Will you say yes, o maghihintay pa ‘ko? Kahit malayo, ba byahe pa rin ako. Luto ng sinigang, may bulaklak sa kamay, Para lang ipakita na tapat ang aking buhay. So tell me, Sophia, matapos ng lahat, Pwede bang sabihin mo, ikaw at ako na nga? (Outro) Will you say yes? (Pwede bang… tayo na?) Will you say yes? (Sophia… tayo na?) Pwede bang maging tayo na?

[Verse] In a land of songs we dance Whispered tales of sweet romance Every word a gentle trance In lyrical dreams we take a chance [Verse 2] Hearts entwined like melody Your voice my sweetest remedy Notes we share so tenderly In lyrical love we're meant to be [Chorus] Singing out our stories bright Every kiss a line tonight In the moon's soft silver light Our love in lyrics pure and light [Verse 3] Echoes play as shadows grow Words like rivers softly flow In your arms my heart will know Our lyrical love will only grow [Bridge] Verse by verse we paint the sky Dreams take wing and start to fly Side by side we'll reach up high In lyrical love we won't say bye [Chorus] Singing out our stories bright Every kiss a line tonight In the moon's soft silver light Our love in lyrics pure and light

[Verse] Underneath the moonlit skies Lost in your enigmatic eyes Whispers floating in the air Love’s a secret we can share [Verse 2] Walking down this empty street Heartbeat matching with our feet Stars above and candles bright Filling up this endless night [Chorus] Caught in the rhythm of you and I Dancing to a tune we don’t apply Crashing waves and whispered sighs Living in this love that never dies [Verse 3] Silence speaks when we're apart Echoes in this aching heart Holding on to threads of hope Finding ways to always cope [Bridge] In your smile I see the dawn Dreams we ride till night is gone Holding tight to every kiss In your arms Eternal bliss [Chorus] Caught in the rhythm of you and I Dancing to a tune we don’t apply Crashing waves and whispered sighs Living in this love that never dies
[Verse] Whispered lies like autumn leaves Falling down from heartbreak trees Lover's breath an empty breeze Silent sighs like saddened seas [Chorus] In the dark I see your face Memory's touch a soft embrace Love remains but hearts displaced Echoes haunt this empty space [Verse 2] Moonlit nights we used to share Now they chill an empty chair Faithless whispers fill the air Once a dream now just despair [Chorus] In the dark I see your face Memory's touch a soft embrace Love remains but hearts displaced Echoes haunt this empty space [Bridge] Waking up from dreams that lie Wounds that heal yet make me cry Still I love you can't deny In this pain where memories fly [Verse 3] Promised words now cold like stone Leaving me to grieve alone Silent phone and distant tone Heartbeats lost to the unknown
