The first 10 lessons are free: all of Scarcity and Choice and all of Consumer Theory. Economist profiles, the glossary, all quizzes, landmark cases, spaced review, search, bookmarks, notes and widgets are also available without a purchase.

One optional one-time purchase unlocks the remaining 90 lessons. It restores on devices using the same Google account. There are no ads, subscriptions, or additional purchases.

OFFLINE AND PRIVATE BY DESIGN

The curriculum and reference library are installed with the app, so lessons, quizzes, profiles, glossary entries, cases and review work offline. Scarcity requires no account and the app itself requests no internet permission. Google Play handles purchase and restore. Support, privacy and source links open in your browser.

Progress, quiz attempts, bookmarks, notes and review state are stored locally. Android backup and device transfer may carry selected study data according to your device settings. Scarcity has no developer server, analytics or advertising SDK, and does not send your study data to us.
