"Economics is the study of the use of scarce resources which have alternative uses." -- British economist Lionel Robbins' classic definition of economics:
Social science analyzes and describes the consequences of choices made concerning scarce productive resources. Economics is the study of how individuals and societies choose to employ those resources: what goods and services will be produced, how they will be produced, and how they will be distributed among the members of society.
