Economics
Economics is the study of how people produce, distribute, and consume goods and services. Intertwined with politics, sociology, psychology, and history, economics studies how individuals and societies prioritize allocation of resources to build wealth. Economics is a foundational subject for the study of business, management, and public policy.
