Five Fundamental Questions

The key features of the market system help explain how

market economies respond to five fundamental questions:

• What goods and services will be produced?

• How will the goods and services be produced?

• Who will get the goods and services?

• How will the system accommodate change?

• How will the system promote progress?

These five questions highlight the economic choices

underlying the production possibilities curve discussed in

Chapter 1. They reflect the reality of scarce resources in a

world of unlimited wants. All economies, whether market

or command, must address these five questions.
