Economics
Economics is a social science studying economy. Like the natural sciences and other social sciences, economics attempts to find laws or principles.
Economics tries to find laws or principles by building models. The predictions of the models form the basis of economic theories. Then the predictions of the models are compared with the facts of the real world.
Economics is the study of the choices people make to satisfy their wants and needs. It is the study of how society allocates scarce resources and goods.

Microeconomics and macroeconomics
Economics as a science consists of two disciplines that is of microeconomics and macroeconomics.
Microeconomics is the branch of economics that studies individual producers, consumers, or markets. Microeconomics also studies how government activities such as regulations and taxes affect individual markets. Besides microeconomics tries to understand what factors affect the prices, wages and earnings.
Macroeconomics is the branch of economics that studies the economy as a whole. It tries to understand the picture as a whole rather than small parts of it. In particular, it studies the overall values of output, of unemployment and of inflation.

The Economy
We hear or read the word «economy» almost every day. For example, we may be told that «the European economy is making little progress out of recession», or «the UK economy is beginning to recover», or «the Scottish economy has held up relatively well during the recent recession».
But what is meant by the economy? The economy is a financial state of a country. It is the way in which a country makes and uses its money, goods and other resources. There are several economic systems in the world.
Capitalist economy is a system where each person has the right to invest money, to work in business, to buy and sell with no restrictions from the state.
Controlled economy means a system where business activity is controlled by orders from the government.
In a free market economy the government does not interfere in business activity in any way.
Planned economy is a system where the government plans all business activity. Mixed economy contains both nationalized industries and private enterprise.
