Any ranking to support your answer will be appreciated. I’m interested in comparative terms, with other liberal arts colleges, such as Claremont McKenna, Williams, and Vassar, who all have really good economics departments. Thanks in advance.

What is the difference between home economics and economics?
Home ecoomics is considered to be a soft option for an As level subject. So is economics the same. And also is economics a soft or good As level choice?

Jenn asked:


I am going to university this coming fall but I’m still undecided about my major. I’m interested in studying business economics. I am not very good at math at all and I’m just wondering what kind of math classes I will have to take if I studied business economics.

SweetLuv asked:


I want to double major but I’m not sure what major would compliment my Economics major. I was thinking about double majoring in Economics/Finance or Economics/Communications or Economics/Accounting. I want to work for the government, specifically an adviser for politicians. What do you think?

Is conservative economics doomed to fail since the free movement of labor is prohibited by law?

  • Written by admin

ideogenetic asked:


Laissez-faire economics can only work if capital & labor are free to move where the best returns/jobs are. International borders prevent the free movement of labor. This means conservative economics can’t work. I’m surprised conservatives aren’t calling for OPEN borders to give their Utopian economic theories a chance to work. Instead, they embrace irreconcilable economic contradictions without realizing it.

Do you consider economics a social science?

  • Written by admin

Alex asked:


I notice that Yahoo Answers classifies economics as a social science.

I’m a graduate student in economics. I concede that economics is indeed tremendously useful in understanding society (in fact, I might even argue that it is THE most useful paradigm from which to understand society). Therefore, it does have a major “social” component.

However, in my experience studying economics, I’ve found that it has more in common with the “true” science of mathematics, for example, than it does with the “social” sciences of anthropology, psychology, etc.

What do you think?
