Economics
From ZuluNotes - Free Leaving Cert Notes
Economics is a social science which studies human behaviour and how the scarce resources of the world, which have alternative uses, are distributed in attempting to satisfy the infinite needs and wants of mankind. Economic laws are not statements of fact, an economic law is a statement that in a given set of circumstances, people will probably act in a certain way.
