The Factors of Production

1. The factors of production are resources that are the building blocks of the

economy; they are what people use to produce goods and services. Economists

divide the factors of production into four categories: land, labor, capital, and

entrepreneurship.

2. The first factor of production is land, but this includes any natural resource used

to produce goods and services. This includes not just land, but anything that comes

from the land. The second factor of production is labor. Labor is the effort that

people contribute to the production of goods and services. If you have ever been paid

for a job, you have contributed labor resources to the production of goods or

services. The income earned by labor resources is called wages.

3. The third factor of production is capital. Think of capital as the machinery, tools

and buildings humans use to produce goods and services. Some common examples

of capital include hammers, forklifts, conveyer belts, computers, and delivery vans.

Capital differs based on the worker and the type of work being done.

4. The fourth factor of production is entrepreneurship. An entrepreneur is a person

who combines the other factors of production - land, labor, and capital - to earn a

profit. The most successful entrepreneurs are innovators who find new ways produce

goods and services or who develop new goods and services to bring to market.

Without the entrepreneur combining land, labor, and capital in new ways, many of the

innovations we see around us would not exist. Think of the entrepreneurship of

Henry Ford or Bill Gates. Entrepreneurs are a vital engine of economic growth.

Entrepreneurs thrive in economies where they have the freedom to start businesses

and buy resources freely. The payment to entrepreneurship is profit.
