After the basic needs viz., food, shelter and clothing have been satisfied, the priorities shift towards other wants. Human wants are unlimited, in the sense, that as soon as one want is satisfied another crops up. Most of the means of satisfying these wants are limited, because their supply is less than demand. These means have alternative uses; there emerge a problem of choice. Resources being scarce in nature ought to be utilized productively within the available means to derive maximum satisfaction.
