What is economics?

Economics as a subject is pretty simple to explain. It is a kind of social science; it deals with and helps us understand the consumption, production and distribution of services in goods in context with our daily lives. Modern economics studies the relationship between human beings, their behaviour and means. Economics can be further divided into microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics deals with specialisation, market conditions, market failures, the public sectors, firms and demand and supply. Macro economics on the other hand deals with economic growth, business cycles, monetary policies, inflation policies, regulations and fiscal policies. Like every other subject, economics too has various schools of thoughts within it. Marxism, The Chicago school of Economics, Classical political economics, neoclassical economics etc are just some of these school or thought. There are various other schools of thoughts too that form a part of this subject.
