-A social science discipline with a contemporaneous logical framework that's based completely on the assumption that scarcity is a problem intrinsic to society. The effect of which justifies greed as a virtue.

-An institutional requirement for dime-a-dozen business majors, usu. taught by middle-aged, overly opinionated, white males in need of serious cultural experiences.

-Taught by sports coaches in high school as the study of "common sense."
Teacher: "Economics studies how a society chooses to allocate its scarce resources among alternative uses."

Student: "What if the society's resources cease to be scarce?"

Teacher: "How is that even possible?"

Student: "The society's productivity meets or exceeds the point of what it needs to sustain itself."

Teacher: "But individual material DESIRES are infinite!"

Student: "Only in a society that breeds such nonsense."

Economics is the ethics of mixing resources with strangers.
There are many disagreements about what Economics thinks is fair.

A class taught to most high school students about how a society manages its scarce resources. It is comprised of a handful of mildly persuasive concepts pumped full of jargon and needlessly represented by graphs to deter intelligent people from realizing that this is not a real science.
Much like intelligent design, economics is a popular psuedo-science that intellectual humans would overlook.

The self-proclaimed β€œsocial science” contrastingly strives to ignore more of human nature every few years with a book written by a middle-aged man who realizes that he is not smart enough to discover anything new in a real science.

Shitty major. The most useful is Econ 101 which you will probably attend sometime at college. Any further study of this 'science' is a total waste of time.
No studying Economics will not help you become an investment banker.

What if I want to do a PhD. Well you will realize that you don't know enough Math to do a PhD in Economics. Go study something more interesting.
