Economics
is the social science that analyzes the
production, distribution, and consumption of goods
and services.
Economic analysis may be applied throughout
society, as in business, finance, health care, and
government, but also to such diverse subjects as
criminal justice, education, law, politics,
religion, social institutions, warfare, and science
An increasing number of economists have called
for increased emphasis on environmental
sustainability; this area of research is known as
Ecological economics.
Studies
in this subject have a very high
career asset
value. These studies are not only valuable for the
special technical skills they bring to the table,
but also for the professional levels of planning,
analysis, and leadership performance that are often
developed through such study experiences.
