THE SCIENCE OF ECONOMICS
Economics is a science. This science is based upon the facts of our everyday
lives. Economists study our everyday lives. They study the system which affects our
lives. The economist tries to describe the facts of the economy in which we live. He
tries to explain how the system works. His methods should be objective and
scientific. We need food, clothes and shelter. If we could get food, clothes and shelter
without working, we probably would not work. But even when we have these
essential things, we may want other things. If we had them, these other things (like
radios, books and toys for children) might make life more enjoyable. The science of
economics is concerned with all our material needs and wants. It is not just concerned
with basic needs like food, clothes and shelter.
