Scarcity (Part 4) - Labour, Capital, and Entrepreneurship

in economics •  7 years ago 

I'm still not sure that I'm following with regards to the optional scarcity of labor....

Are you saying:

  1. Labor might be over-supplied within a particular market? (I would definitely agree with this, even though I would phrase it as a coordination problem.)
  2. Labor might be over-supplied in general? (I have a hard time imagining how this could possibly be so, since this would imply that there exists no desire in the entire world that is failing to be satisfied by labor.)

I hope I don't come off as being too nit-picky or belligerent, but sometimes the devil is in the details. :)
