What is Economics?
Economics is the study of how societies use resources to produce goods and services and how they distribute these goods and services to meet people’s needs. It combines elements of social science and mathematics to analyze financial systems, markets, and policies that impact the world. Economists study how decisions are made by individuals, businesses, and governments, seeking to understand factors like supply and demand, inflation, unemployment, and international trade. Through studying economics, students learn to think critically and apply quantitative methods to solve real-world problems related to wealth, scarcity, and sustainability.
