Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. It analyzes how individuals, businesses, governments, and nations make choices about allocating scarce resources to satisfy their needs and wants. Economics explores various concepts such as supply and demand, market structures, and the roles of incentives and trade-offs in decision-making. It is typically divided into two main branches: microeconomics, which focuses on individual and firm behavior in specific markets, and macroeconomics, which examines the economy as a whole, including issues like inflation, unemployment, and economic growth. The discipline employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to understand economic phenomena and inform policy decisions.
