Scarcity: The New Science of Having Less and How It Defines Our Lives is a behavioral science and economics book by Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir. It examines scarcity not only as a material condition such as too little money, time, or food, but also as a psychological state that changes how people think and decide. The book argues that when people feel pressed for resources, their attention narrows, their planning becomes less flexible, and short-term concerns crowd out longer-term priorities. Rather than treating poor judgment as a simple failure of discipline, the authors show how scarcity itself can produce predictable decision errors. Drawing on experiments and applied examples from poverty, time pressure, dieting, and organizational life, the book explains why the same mental patterns appear across very different forms of shortage. Its purpose is both explanatory and practical: to help readers understand the hidden costs of having too little and to suggest ways institutions and individuals can reduce those costs.
