2.2 HOW ARE GOODS PRODUCED?
Labor
The quantity of labor depends on the size of the working age population and the number of people in that age group that decides to take a job. The quality of labor depends on human capital.
Factors of production are paid incomes:
Rent
Income paid for the use of land.
Wages
Income paid for the services of labor.
Interest
Income paid for the use of capital.
2.2 HOW ARE GOODS PRODUCED?
Land
Figure 2.4(a) shows that almost 50 percent of the land in the United States forest, parks, and water.
Agricultural land is about 47 percent of the total and is decreasing slightly.
2.1 WHAT GOODS ARE PRODUCED?
Figure 2.1(b) shows that Americans spend:
• A falling share of total expenditure on food and other necessities.
• An increasing share on services, such as meals away from home
Entrepreneurship
The human resource that organizes labor, land, and capital--entrepreneurs come up with ideas about what and how to produce, make business decisions, and bear the risks that arise from these decisions.
