Economics

There is never enough time, or money, or space to do everything. Consequently people must choose how to organize and use the labor, capital, and land that are available. Economics describes the ways that households, businesses, and even nations exchange goods and services in the vast, complex network we call the economy. It is the study of the environment in which people make a living--earning, producing, buying from others, and saving for the future.

Economics principles are taught in agriculture, business, home economics, and many other programs of study. As a separate discipline, the study of Economics usually leads to a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree from a liberal arts college or college of business.
