Economics is not just about business… It is a social science or a study of how people value things or perceive the value of things among other studies….it touches every part of life and almost every discipline whether it is business- looking at how people value products, science- looking at the most efficient or cost effective ways of creating a product, social problems- how to help the poor, psychology –why people value one concept over another… even religion- how people view sharing and work… Whatever you study or whatever profession you are in you will find an “economic” component to it.
