Solution
The growth-oriented definition of economics, given by Samuelson, views economics as the study of how people and society choose to employ scarce productive resources, with or without money, to produce goods over time for present and future consumption and distribute them among individuals and groups. This definition emphasizes not just allocation but also efficient utilization and growth of resources to satisfy unlimited wants. It highlights the dynamic nature of economics, addressing economic problems in a temporal context, and stresses sustainable development and distribution. Thus, economics is concerned with choices that influence economic growth and welfare over time.
