ScarcityAnticipation names the moment when an expected future lack begins organising present decisions, accumulations and exclusions. Resources may still exist, yet projected shortage changes prices, access, policy and behaviour before material scarcity arrives. Anticipation can support prudent preparation, but it can also create the very inequality it claims merely to predict. The operator examines who possesses the authority to define future insufficiency, who can accumulate protection in advance and whose present needs are sacrificed to an imagined later emergency.
