Scarcity
Scarcity of goods in an economy refers to a situation where demand is greater than supply (demand-driven scarcity), or how a good with finite resources is distributed (supply-driven). Scarcity has major implications on supplier pricing power, on the demand curve and the pursuit of acceptable alternatives.
