What Are the Different Types of Scarcity Theory?

The scarcity of resources is "made" by humans themselves. Human beings are constantly pursuing a higher quality of life, and this pursuit itself will meet the constraints of time, space and various resources, so people will continue to create more problems and greater troubles for themselves. It takes effort to develop yourself to solve these problems and overcome them. In this sense, scarcity may not be called a problem in the sense of human survival, but the assumption of scarcity is undoubtedly true when compared with people's "excessive demand".

Resource scarcity

Right!
Human beings are not alone on this earth. Every action, every word and every action, must be directly or indirectly related to specific resources. Without resources, human survival and development cannot be talked about. This is true of individuals as small as nations and nations. From the sun and the earth, human beings can get enough, and even excess energy, to satisfy individual survival and ethnicity. However, human needs are unlimited, and any resource may be scarce compared to human needs.
Logically, the scarcity of resources is a basic proposition of modern microeconomics.
For humans, resources are important and scarce. Because of this scarcity, saving becomes necessary, and the question of how to effectively allocate and use resources arises. From ancient times to the present, resources have been allocated in various ways, such as the initial "habits", and later queuing and grabbing. In the theoretical world, resources are mainly divided into two types according to the different subjects:
1.
The contradiction between resource finiteness and people's need for infinity is the basic contradiction of human society. The finiteness of resources, the infiniteness of people's needs and the contradiction between them are the most basic facts in the world today.
On the one hand, the survival and development of human beings always need living materials, and people's needs are diverse and infinite. It is determined by the natural and social attributes of people, and it is manifested in various needs, such as survival needs, enjoyment needs, development needs, or economic needs, political needs, spiritual and cultural needs, etc. These needs form a complex of
For example, although there are many iron ore in China, there are almost no rich iron ore, and some are poor iron that cannot produce high-quality steel.
coal
The National Energy Administration stated that it is studying the formulation of special and scarce coal management methods, and implementing protective development of special and scarce coal types such as coking coal. The National Energy Administration is currently organizing a national survey of coking coal resources, and will determine the national coking coal resource development layout during the 12th Five-Year Plan period in conjunction with the 12th Five-Year Plan for the development of the coal industry.
In fact, as early as the 2009 notice issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources on the implementation of the "National Mineral Resources Planning (2008-2015)", it was pointed out that special coal types and scarce coal types that have important value to the national economy must be protected. Mining; The revised version of the Coal Law also divides mining areas into three categories based on their value: national planning mining areas for coal resources, mining areas of great value to the national economy, special and scarce coal mining areas, and including special and scarce coal mining areas Protective mining scope.
In the context of coking coal prices skyrocketing, the National Energy Administration's proposition to carry out protective development of high-quality scarce coal types is very obvious. Protective development varieties will mainly include high-quality coking coal for coking and high-quality anthracite for chemical products, and high-quality coking coal as a special and scarce coal species has been strategically protected in Australia, the United States, Canada and other countries, Strategic raw material varieties.
At present, China's high-quality coking coal accounts for a relatively low proportion. Among them, coking and fat coal are fine products in scarce products. In addition, the distribution of coking coal resources in China is also extremely uneven, mainly concentrated in North and East China. Regardless of domestic or foreign, the future monopoly trend is very obvious.
According to our judgment on the global coal trade pattern, China and India's coking coal imports will grow rapidly in the future and will replace Japan and South Korea as the largest importing countries. The degree of cobbled coal resources will gradually intensify in various countries. Therefore, this also determines the long-term upward trend of coking coal prices. The domestic trend will be based on mergers and reorganizations.
Scarce resources mainly include: non-renewable resources, coal, oil, natural gas, metal ore, and other rare element ore and substances.
