|Background Information: |

As consumers we choose goods and services to satisfy our wants and needs. Economics is concerned with the production and distribution of goods and services.

A good is something that people want that can be touched or held. Goods include things that are used or consumed, such as food or clothing. There are many different kinds of goods. Consumer goods, like food and clothing, satisfy human wants or needs. Producer goods, like raw materials and tools, are used to make consumer goods. Capital goods, like machinery, are used in the production of commodities or producer goods.

A service is something that someone does for someone else, such as a teacher or firefighter. Sometimes, people provide a service that results in a good being produced. For example, a farmer grows food that you buy. Services are found in education, health, communication, transportation, entertainment, restaurants, and social services.

GOODS AND SERVICES

Including, but not limited to:

• Goods – a physical product; things people can touch and feel

• Examples of goods in the home: food, toys, computer, clothes, sink
