Economics is the study of scarcity and its implications for the use of resources, production of goods and services, growth of production and welfare over time, and a great variety of other complex issues of vital concern to society.
A standard definition of economics could describe it as: a social science directed at the satisfaction of needs and wants through the allocation of scarce resources which have alternative uses. We can go further to state that: economics is about the study of scarcity and choice.
What is economics? Economics, at its very heart, is the study of people. It seeks to explain what drives human behaviour, decisions and reactions when faced with difficulties or successes. Economics is a discipline which combines politics, sociology, psychology and history.
