Economics explores how ordinary people, consumers, business people, public servants and politicians make decisions, and how they choose between alternative ways of spending their money and using their skills, energy and time in a wide range of human endeavour. As well as standard subjects, economics can throw light on decision-making in many diverse areas of life, from love and marriage to sports and crime.
