economics bachelor

Share definition
a woman with an economics major is probably a huge bitch with an anti social personality and is very incapable of love. she is very pretty but very much a horrible person. its not because she can make her own choices, its because shes hurting people with them. they may be the money making machine, but she wont get a boyfriend because with all the money she has earned with whatever business she starts with that bachelor she wont need one

Also known as ECON101 - A phrase styled after the usual name of an introductory economics module at university or college. It's usually used by libertarians and conservatives to explain away the problems of capitalism, with the implication that their interlocutor "simply doesn't understand basic economics", even though a lot of said basic economics go on to be debunked in Economics 201.
Lib: "The minimum wage was introduced so that every employed person could afford food and rent, but ever since the Reagan administration, wages haven't been following the massive increases in productivity, as well as skyrocketing rent."

Cons: "Bruh, that's dumb - raising wages means people must get fired! Also, rent is increasing because more people want to rent! Supply and demand - it's just Economics 101."

A metascientific field that examines the economic dimensions of scientific activity—how money flows through research systems, how funding shapes research agendas, how economic incentives influence scientific behavior, and how scientific knowledge generates economic value. The economics of science analyzes funding mechanisms (grants, contracts, institutional support), labor markets (scientists as workers, training pipelines, career structures), intellectual property regimes (patents, licensing, commercialization), and the economic impact of research (innovation, growth, productivity). It also examines how economic forces create inequalities within science—between fields, between institutions, between countries—and how these inequalities shape what gets studied and who gets to study it. The economics of science reveals that science is not just a pursuit of truth but an economic activity, embedded in markets and driven by incentives, and that understanding science requires understanding its economic logic.
Example: "His economics of science analysis showed how the shift to project-based grant funding transformed scientific practice—not just what got studied, but how scientists thought about risk, collaboration, and their own careers. When funding becomes project-based, science becomes project-shaped."

Ronald Alzheimer Reagan's "supply-side economics"
The only recorded instance of a true statement made by a member of the Bush dynasty was in 1980, when George H.W. Bush attacked Reagan's snake-oil economic disaster in the making by calling it "voodoo economics." He later ate those words when he became vice-president, began kissing up to reactionaries, and discovered how lucrative deregulation of the S&L's was to embezzlers like his sons Neil and Jeb.

helicopter economics

Share definition
When the monetary authorities put a seemingly unlimited amount of money into the financial system in order to stimulate the economy; as if they were flying around in helicopters and dropping money from the sky. This usually results in substantial inflation and sometimes hyperinflation.
The Federal Reserve's excessive easy money policy is helicopter economics at its worst.
