What is Economics?

"Economics is the art of trying to satisfy infinite needs with limited resources." Albert Camus

Economics is the study of how effectively society meets its human and material needs.   It provides a logical, ordered way of looking a various problems.  It draws upon history,  philosophy, and mathematics to deal with subjects ranging from how an individual household or business can make sound decisions, to societal issues such as unemployment, inflation, and environmental decay.
