“Successful investing is anticipating the anticipations of others.”
John Maynard Keynes
Economic Resource Center
"Economics is the
social science
that analyzes the production,
distribution,
and consumption
of goods
and services.
The term
economics comes
from the Ancient Greek
οἰκονομία (oikonomia,
"management of a household, administration")
from
οἶκος (oikos,
"house") +
νόμος (nomos,
"custom" or "law"), hence "rules of the
house(hold)". Current economic models
emerged from the broader field of political economy
in the late 19th century. A primary stimulus
for the development of modern economics was
the desire to use an empirical approach more
akin to the physical sciences.
Economics aims to explain how economies
work and how economic agents
interact. Economic analysis is applied
throughout society, in business, finance and
government, but also in crime, education,
the family,
health,
law,
politics,
religion,
social institutions,
war, and science.
The expanding domain of economics in the
social sciences
has been described as economic imperialism."
