Solution

The following are the three main causes that give rise to the central problems in an economy.

  1. Unlimited Human Wants: Human wants are never-ending and new wants keep arising.
  2. Limited Economic Resources: In relation to the unlimited wants, the resources required to satisfy them are relatively scare and limited in supply.
  3. Alternative Use of Resources: Resources are not only scarce but also have alternative uses. This implies that a choice has to be made among the various alternative uses of resources.
