Economics is a fascinating business-related social science that seeks to understand and critically evaluate decision making on the part of individuals, businesses, governments and global organisations.

Economists analyse the behaviour of individuals and firms and their strategic interactions, the causes and effects of unemployment and inflation, economic growth and development, income inequality, industrial organisation, public policy design and implementation, and management of the environment. A primary goal of economics is to determine how to improve efficiency and living standards.

As a well-established academic discipline, economics offers a rich array of proven techniques and a flexible analytical basis for understanding and evaluating the decisions made in households, business and government.
