What the college says

Economics includes the study of how people behave and interact with each other, as well as the dynamics among consumers, manufacturers, and the government. You'll look at the fundamental forces which affect our lives, such as employment, prices, international trade and poverty.Economists are often in healthy debate with each other over these issues, and it is this controversy which makes the subject lively and interesting and which allows you the opportunity to make your own judgements and form your own opinions.There are several definitions of economics, with each trying to encapsulate the essence of the subject. However, most textbooks seem to agree that "economics concerns the allocation of society's scarce resources amongst the many alternative uses to which they could be put."
