Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. It examines how individuals, businesses, governments, and nations make choices on allocating resources to satisfy their needs and desires. Economics seeks to understand how these choices affect the behavior of individuals and groups within a society and how they contribute to overall economic systems.
The field is broadly divided into two main branches: microeconomics, which focuses on the behaviors of individuals and small groups in making decisions and allocating resources, and macroeconomics, which looks at the economy as a whole, analyzing aggregate indicators such as GDP, unemployment rates, and inflation.
Economists utilize various models and theories to analyze economic activity, make predictions, and provide insights into how to improve economic well-being. Overall, economics is concerned with understanding the mechanisms that govern economic interactions and the implications of those interactions for societal welfare.
