I. OJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, the learner is able to know the meaning of economics,
understand the economics as a social science and know the main divisions of economics.
Economics - is a social science which deals with human wants and their satisfaction.
- is a science that deals with pricing process. Modern economy is a monetary
economy. Prices are paid in money. So money plays an important role in the
economic life of a society.
- is the science of choice.
- - comes from the Ancient Greek oikos meaning “house” and nomos meaning
“custom” or “law”, hence “rules of the house” (hold for good management.
- - it’s the study of scarcity, the study of people use resources, or the study of
decision-making.
Political economy - is another name for economics. “Polis” in Greek means a State. The
early writers used the term “Political Economy” for the management of the State. A
person who runs a family is expected to make the best use of the income of the
household. Similarly, the State is expected to get the maximum benefit for the society.
Existence of human wants - is the starting point of all economic activity in the world.
Unless we make efforts, we cannot satisfy wants. Hence, wants, efforts and satisfaction
form the circle of economics.
Wealth - all the scarce goods which satisfy our wants.
- in economics, we study about the production of wealth, exchange of wealth,
distribution of wealth and consumption of wealth. As wealth is produced to
promote human welfare, we study the relationship between wealth and
welfare.
Exchange - in exchange, we give one thing and take another. Goods may be exchanged
for goods or for money. If goods are exchanged for goods, we call it barter. Modern
economy is a money economy. As goods are exchanged for money, we study in
economics about the functions of money, the role of banks and we also study how prices
are determined.
Distribution – distribution of wealth in the form rent, wages, interest and profits. In
economics, we are not much interested in personal distribution. That is, we do not
analyse how it is distributed among different persons in the society. But we are interested
in functional distribution.
Public Finance - deals with the economics of government. It studies mainly about the
income and expenditure of government. So we have to study about different aspects
relating to taxation, public expenditure, public debt and so on.
