Description
Economics is the academic discipline most discussed by the general public, yet it is also one of the least understood. Economics is the social science that deals with problems of scarcity through a systematic and logical framework for analyzing how a society solves such problems as which goods and services to produce, how to organize production, and for whom goods and services are to be produced. Knowledge of economics is necessary for understanding and dealing intelligently with current topics like unemployment, economic growth, income inequality, the environment, globalization, and various forms of market regulation. Besides its importance in understanding contemporary social issues, economics is useful in developing career skills for business, law, teaching, public administration, and research. Both verbal and mathematical training are involved in the study of economics.
