If a TP family buys one thing, they may not be able to afford something O they would like. The same is true of nations. Whether a nation is ĐẠ rich or poor, most of its people want more than they can afford. They seek better schools, more houses and stronger armed forces. NG The field of economics studies the way the thing people need and HƯ want is made and brought to them. It also studies the way people and nations choose the things they actually buy from among the N many things they want. Ầ TR Economists (specialists in economics) define economics as the B study of how goods and services get produced and how they are 00 distributed. By goods and services, economists mean everything 10 that can be bought and sold. By produced, they mean the A processing and making of goods and services. By distributed, they HÓ mean the way goods and services are divided among the people. Í- In all countries, the resources used to produce goods and -L services are scarce. That is, no nation has enough farms, factories, or workers to produce everything th at everyone would like. ÁN Money is also scarce. Few people have enough money to buy TO everything they want when they want it. Therefore, people everywhere most choose the best possible way to use their N ĐÀ resources and money.

In economic items, the children, the storekeepers, and the nation all must NH economize in order to satisfy their most important needs and wants. This means they must try to use the resources they have to UY produce the things they most want. .Q Economics is a study of mankind. It tells us how man TP subsists, grows and develops in relation to the wealth available on O Earth. Relations made by persons in the society which are in ĐẠ connection with material circumstances are economic. NG On a microeconomic scale, economics analyses the relations a person establishes with others while satisfying wants for his HƯ material life.Wants refer to both needs for a self to subsist and N desires for the self to develop. Ầ TR Qn a macroeconomic scale, economics analyses the regulations that govern the ways of establishing relations B between persons so as to assure the well-being of man’s world in 00 the whole. 10 A II.

Language focus: If clause (Type I) UY When we talk about future events th at are reasonably likely .Q and their results, we can use an if-sentence. The lf-clause states TP the condition, and the other clause states the result. O “Unless” means the same as if...not. It always refers to the ĐẠ conditional part of the sentence and not the result part of the NG sentence. HƯ Example: - If the government raises taxes, consumer spending will fall.

Business firms are supposed to compete freely, and any HƯ attem pt at hindering free competition ("restrictive practices") is punishable by law. N Direct government intervention is theoretically ruled out Ầ TR although the government will influence the economic situation through its fiscal and budgetary policies. B 00 P la n n e d econom y: A system whereby the structure of the 10 .market is deliberately planned by the state, in which production A and consumption quotas are fixed beforehand, and where there is HÓ no real competition between industrial or commercial Í- organizations. In the soviet model, for instance, all the means of -L production and the channels of distribution are state controlled. Private ownership does not exist in this field. ÁN In practice, there is wide gap between the theoretical model TO and economic realities: the so - called market economies relv more N and more on Government planning and intervention, whereas in ĐÀ planned economies, such capitalistic notions as profit tend to be reintroduced.

Read the following passage and translate into .Q Vietnamese TP WHAT IS ECONOMICS ABOUT? O Economics is about the everyday things of life, how we get ĐẠ our living and why sometimes we get more and sometimes less. NG Nowadays, everybody realizes the important part played in their lives by economic factors, because nothing seems to stay put for HƯ more than a few weeks on end. Prices are continually changing, N generally upwards, and no sooner do we congratulate ourselves on Ầ being a bit better off than we seem to lose all we have gained TR because of having to pay more for everything we want. Industries, B such as coal mines and railways, which we have taken for granted 00 as natural part of the scene, decline in size, and other quite new 10 ones, electronics and plastics and so on, take their place as big A fields of employment; and these changes in size directly affect the HÓ lives of hundreds of thousands of families. Í- Those of us who are now middle-aged can recall the shock we -L had during the war when the scarcity of so many of the goods we needed for our day-to-day living brought vividly home to us how ÁN much we depend on the four corners of the world for all the things TO we normally use without generally giving a moment's thought to their origin. N ĐÀ There was a time when each family actually produced for itself most of the things it needed for its everyday life. In the Ễ N modern world the relationship between work and wants is much DI less direct than it used to be, for most of us spend our time making things for sale and not for our own use.

  19. WWW.DAYKEMQUYNHON.UCOZ.COM WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/DAYKEM.QUYNHON ƠN U n it 3 NH MICROECONOMICS UY I. Reading .Q 1. Many economists specialize in a particular branch of the TP subject. For example, there are labour economists, energy O economists, monetary economists, and international economists. ĐẠ What - distinguishes these economists is the segment of economic life in which they are interested. Labour economics deals with NG problems of the labour market as viewed by firms, workers, and HƯ society as a whole. Urban economics deals with city problems: land use, transport, congestion, and housing. However, we need N not to classify branches of economics according to the area of Ầ economic life in which we ask the standard questions what, how, TR and for whom. We can also classify branches of economics B according to the approach or methodology th at is used. Thè very 00 broad division of approaches into microeconomic and 10 macroeconomic cuts across the large number of subject groupings A cited above. HÓ Microeconomic analysis offers a detailed treatm ent of Í- individual decisions about particular commodities. -L For example, we might study why individual households ÁN prefer cars to bicycles and how producers decide whether to produce cars or bicycles. We can then aggregate the behaviout of TO all households and all firms to discuss total car purchases and N total car production. Within a market economy we can discuss the ĐÀ market for cars. Comparing this with the market for bicycles, we may be able to explain the relative price of cars and bicycles and N the relative output of these two goods. The sophisticated branch of Ễ DI microeconomics known as general equilibrium theory extends this 1o Đóng góp PDF bởi Nguyễn Thanh Tú WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/BOIDUONGHOAHOCQUYNHON
  20. WWW.DAYKEMQUYNHON.UCOZ.COM WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/DAYKEM.QUYNHON approach to its logical conclusion. It sudy simultaneously every ƠN market for every commodity. From this it is hoped th at we can NH understand the complete pattern of consumption, production, and exchange in the whole economy at a point in time. UY 2. If you think this sounds very complicated you are corr .Q It is for many purposes, the analysis becomes so complicated that TP we tend to lose track of the phenomena in which we were O interested. The interesting task for economics, a task th at retains ĐẠ an element of art in economic sienee, is to devise judicious simplifications which keep the analysis manageable without NG distorting reality too much. It is here that microeconomists and HƯ macroeconomists proceed down different avenues. Microeconomists tend to offer a detailed treatm ent of one aspect N of economic behaviour but ignore interactions with the rest of the Ầ economy in order to preserve the simplicity of the analysis. A TR microeconomic analysis of miners’ wages would emphasize the B charateristics of miners and the ability of mine owners to pay. It 00 wouild largely neglect the chain of indirect effects to which a rise 10 in miners’ wages might give rise. For example, car workers might A use the precedent of the miners pay increase to secure higher HÓ wages in the car industry, thus being able to afford large houses Í- which burned more coal in heating systems. When microeconomic -L analysis ignores such indirectly induced effects it is said to be partial analysis. ÁN II. Comprehension questions TO Read the text carefully and then answer the following N questions: ĐÀ 1. What distinguishes an energy economist from an urban N economist? Ễ DI 2. Are the same questions asked in each area of economic life? 20 Đóng góp PDF bởi Nguyễn Thanh Tú WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/BOIDUONGHOAHOCQUYNHON
