Oi you! Do you agree with this?
There is a finite amount of resources which are insufficient to satisfy all human wants and needs, thus there is scarcity.

Suit yourself, there's nothing like a military coup / the clothes are great, and everybody loves a curfew.
We can just burn idiots like you for warmth.
So, how about we don't let a tiny minority hoard most of those resources, eh?
If you want to talk about food, then look up what Amartya Sen has to say about democracy and famine. The guy is not a Marxist so you can feel safe about the information you receive.
Depends on what you are talking about. Some resources aren't really scarce. Take intellectual property--where artificial scarcity is applied. Other resources might be scarce because we lack certain technologies. A large percentage of scarcity is artificial.
I dunno, your shite threads seem to be abundant.
They are scarce, it takes effort etc to produce them, people are not going to work for nothing.

"But here steps in Satan, the eternal rebel, the first free-thinker and emancipator of worlds. He makes man ashamed of his bestial ignorance and obedience; he emancipates him, stamps upon his brow the seal of liberty and humanity, in urging him to disobey and eat of the fruit of knowledge." ~Mikhail Bakunin
Really? I heard there was this great operating system called Linux that runs on all these cell-phones.
There is a finite amount of resources.
They are sufficient to satisty humans "wants and needs".
Someone made Linux. If you want to get more products like Linux etc, the best way of doing that if providing people with a reason to make them. Some will be motivated by the greater good, most will not, humans are not perfect.
No, people want more and more, human wants are infinite. That is why they are wants, not needs.
