RC Question 17 Explanation

DISCUSSION: See lines 50-59 for a full description.

Steady-state economists believe in using resources more efficiently. That way we can still satisfy human wants while staying within natural limits.

___________

1. This is a more efficient use of resources, so it’s a step in the right direction.
2. CORRECT. This doesn’t mention how many resources are used. Steady-state economists want a process that uses natural resources more efficiently. Cost isn’t the main concern.
3. Defective products waste natural resources.
4. This sounds good. The new process may use less fuel, or produce more with the same amount of fuel.
5. Overproduction is no good. Resources are used, but no needs are satisfied.
