Merriam-Webster defines Ecomics in the following manner: A Social science that analyzes and describes the consequences of choices made concerning scarce productive resources. Ecomics 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. Ecomics is customarily divided into microecomics and macroecomics. Of major concern to macroecomists are the rate of ecomic growth, the inflation rate, and the rate of unemployment. Specialized areas of ecomic investigation attempt to answer questions on a variety of ecomic activity; they include agricultural ecomics, ecomic development, ecomic history, environmental ecomics, industrial organization, international trade, labor ecomics, money supply and banking, public finance, urban ecomics, and welfare ecomics. Specialists in mathematical ecomics and ecometrics provide tools used by all ecomists. The areas of investigation in ecomics overlap with many other disciplines, tably history, mathematics, political science, and sociology. Perhaps a simpler definition is: Ecomics is the social science that studies ecomic activity to gain an understanding of the processes that govern the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services in an ecomy. Tyler Cown once said: Ecomics is everywhere, and understanding ecomics can help you make better decisions and lead a happier life. Sam Harris stated: Human well-being is t a random phemen. It depends on many factors - ranging from genetics and neurobiology to sociology and ecomics. But, clearly, there are scientific truths to be kwn about how we can flourish in this world. Wherever we can have an impact on the well being of others, questions of morality apply. None other than John Kenneth Galbraith opined: Ecomics is extremely useful as a form of employment for ecomists.
