Prompt:
Create an editorial cartoon that vividly portrays the concepts of scarcity and opportunity cost. The scene should take place in a market. The first panel shows a racially diverse crowd of people browsing various stalls. Each stall brims with different goods: fresh produce, jewelry, clothes, and tech gadgets. A central character, a Middle-Eastern woman, is in the midst of the crowd, looking thoughtful. She holds a limited amount of money in her hand, which signifies scarcity. She is looking at two different stalls – a fruit stall and a book stall, representing two different opportunities. In the second panel, we see her at the book stall, handing over her money to the South Asian vendor – she made her choice, thus demonstrating the idea of opportunity cost. The fruits in the background, untouched, symbolize the opportunity she gave up. The expressions of the characters and the details in the background should be catchy and thought-provoking.
