Positive Statement A factual claim testable against evidence. E.g. 'Raising
minimum wage to £12 increased unemployment by
0.3%.'
Normative Statement A value judgement about what ought to be. E.g. 'The
government should raise the minimum wage to £15.'
Scarcity The Economic Problem: Finite resources, infinite
wants → every society must decide What, How, and
For Whom to produce.
Opportunity Cost Value of the next best alternative foregone.

Division of Labour Breaking production into specialised tasks (Adam
Smith's pin factory).
Advantages of Division of Labour Workers become highly skilled, time saved switching
tasks, enables machinery, increases output per
worker, economies of scale.
Disadvantages of Division of Labour Repetitive work, boredom, over-dependence on one
skill (structural unemployment), interdependence—
one failure halts all, workers lack transferable skills.
Functions of Money Medium of exchange, measure of value, store of
value, method of deferred payment—money allows
specialisation to work via exchange.

Free Market Price mechanism allocates resources; private
ownership & profit motive; consumer sovereignty.
Risk: inequality, market failure.
Command Economy State owns means of production; central planning
board decides allocation; addresses inequality
directly. Risk: information problems, inefficiency.
Mixed Economy State provides public goods, corrects market failures,
redistributes alongside private sector.
Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) Curve showing maximum combination of two goods
when all resources are fully and efficiently employed.
