Good economists don't talk about needs vs. wants, it's all wants because anyone can argue just about anything is a want and not a need. You need food, but if you ask for anything more than beans and rice, that food is now a want. Really? No, we aren't going to play that game. You want food. You want a place to live. You want transportation. It's all wants.
