You must master the details of marginal productivity and complex terminology such as marginal physical product (MPP), marginal revenue product (MRP), marginal resource cost (MRC), and the MRP = MRC rule before you can grasp the main concepts. Furthermore, you must understand that the demand for a resource is derived from the demand for the goods and the services produced by that resource. Finally, you must understand how a firm hires resources when more than one resource is involved.
