We call it opportunity cost
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
When the Minister of Finance announced that the government was going to cut spending to ward off a debt crisis, many people thought it was a good move. I still think so. But as we learn in Economics-1, needs are unlimited and resources are scarce, everyone has to make choices, including the Minister, and choices imply opportunity costs. The student protests that are currently taking place throughout the country are one of the opportunity costs of an austerity budget.
