In the economy, when economists talk about scarcity, they intend to express the state or view of a lack of more factors of production to produce enough products or goods and services in a country. One may ask, does South Sudan stand on the verge of economic collapse since the capital is not put in or used to produce enough food? What does it mean when people complain about the economy while having no idea or knowledge about economic fabrics? If they have to leave the urban areas and go to rural areas and deploy all the factors of production, they will cease complaining about the economic problems in the country. They should probably produce enough foods to increase economic growth; some people will be suppliers, others will be producers, and consumers will benefit.

To develop long-term economic growth, every citizen must understand and participate in creating economic continuation that a growing economy demands hard work and accountability regarding exchanging goods and services. Many economists have stated that for the economy to expand, the population needs to learn what it means for economic development. Economic development has two categories: traditional and neoclassical economies. A traditional economy is primarily the efficient, least-cost allocation of scarce productive resources with the optimal growth of the resources over time. This traditional economy is what I referred to at the beginning of the paragraph. South Sudanese people own it to themselves because they liberated the country for self-reliance. Where is such a claim? Why do people focus on leaders, not creativity, as they demand self-determination? I will leave these questions for commentators who may have to read this article.

The second category, known as the traditional neoclassical economy, is too broad and deals with an advanced capitalist market that is too sophisticated for a new nation like South Sudan. But capable people must implement such a branch, which involves making decisions based on marginal, private-profit and price adjustment automation. Taking the first category, South Sudan would not have an acute slow economic growth, especially if people commit to traditional economic development. People demand protection from their government from any crime that may arise. A strong economy does not often depend on the monetary framework. It includes holistic activities.

Thus, people have to stop pooling themselves in urban cities rather than in rural cities to have space for planning the agricultural sector and deploying all factors of production. This idea will bring stable economic growth that can efficiently promote low-cost products or goods and services to the markets. Consumers who have money will spend, and producers and suppliers can use such money to invest in another economic development. That is the only way economic growth expands in South Sudan. Dr. Garang says that “weak people often have a weak government, and poor people have a poor government.” There is no strong economic growth when people expect to get a handout from others.
