Factors of Production
One morning you wake up with a great idea. You’ve thought of a prod-
uct that no one else has, and you are certain there’s demand for it. But how
will you turn your idea into reality? First of all you’ll need raw materials to
manufacture from – probably oil and metal, but also paper for packaging.
You can’t produce it by yourself, so you’ll need people to help you make
it, package it and market it. Finally, your staff will need a factory and ma-
chines to produce with. In short, you need the actors of production: land,
labour and capital.
The factors of production are the starting point for all economies. No
economy can exist without them. The most basic of the factors is land. When
economists talk about land, however, they don’t just mean space to build on
or elds to grow crops. Land means everything that nature provides and
we can use for production. The land factor includes raw materials like coal,
metals, oil and timber. It also includes things like water, sh and salt. So,
although it seems illogical, land also means the sea!
