Scarcity explains why limited resources lead to choices in allocation and can drive down a product's value through decreased demand, increased supply, or market saturation. It also highlights consumer willingness to pay for scarce items and the importance of resource management. Understanding scarcity helps in grasping economic principles and resource valuation. ;
