Economics

  Economics   is the  social science that  studies on  production,  distribution  and   consumption   of goods and services. Economics focuses on the behaviour and interactions of economic agents and how economies work. Microeconomics  analyzes basic elements in the economy, including individual agents and markets their interactions, and the outcomes of interactions. Individual agents may include, for example, households, firms, buyers, and sellers. Macroeconomics analyzes the economy as a system where production, consumption, saving, and investment interact, and factors affecting it: employment of the resources of labour, capital, and land, currency inflation, economic growth and public policies that have impact on these elements. Other broad distinctions within economics include those between positive economics, describing "what is", and normative economics, advocating "what ought to be"; between economic theory and applied economics between rational and behaviour
