What is Economics? Economics is about choice and the impact of our choices on each other.
Business economics relates to every aspect of our lives, from the decisions we make as individuals or families to the structures created by governments and firms. The economic way of thinking can help us make better choices, especially in business situations. And economics is the basis of many related business fields like finance, accounting, marketing and organizational behavior. Knowledge and incentives drive the world. Learning how is the subject of economics.
