Economics is a social science. It could be organized under science, but we chose to group it with other Social Sciences instead of with physical sciences. Soon we may set up a Social Sciences or Humanities section.
There are more than 5 subjects that come under 'social sciences'. The 5 most common (generally) are: - Geography - Economics - History - Psychology - Sociology And then there's: - Politics/political science - Philosophy & ethics - Law - Anthropology - Criminology
Science can be defined as knowledge gained by observing and testing facts. In economics, economists observe various economic events and try to find patterns and form theories about the events, and then they test their theories before they apply them.
That description fails to account for the fact that so much human activity under capitalism is matter of being forced to do something, not a matter of choice. For instance, the majority of people are forced to sell their ability to work for a wage. And scarcity is an artificial situation caused by capitalism’s rule of no profit- no production.
The goal of any organisation is to achieve maximum (Profits)efficiency with least amount of labour and investment. The managerial economics is not a concrete science, since both management and economics are not and both subjects are highly flexible and are totally under human control. Both subjects, deal with the nature of human being. In brief: Achieving the optimum output with least input, is the simple definition of this subject.
Managerial economics (also called business economics), is a branch of economics that applies microeconomic analysis to specific business decisions. As such, it bridges economic theory and economics in practice. It draws heavily from quantitative techniques such as regression analysis and correlation, Lagrangian calculus (linear). If there is a unifying theme that runs through most of managerial economics it is the attempt to optimize business decisions given the firm's objectives and given constraints imposed by scarcity, for example through the use of operations research and programming.(the things mentioned above are ___________)
It could go in either location. We'll be reorganizing our topics soon so that there is some sort of clear "social science" topic where economics would go.

Business typically falls under social sciences, specifically economics, management, and marketing. These disciplines study the behavior of individuals and organizations in the context of commerce and trade.
There are many disciplines that fall under the umbrella of social science. Some of them include:* Anthropology * Psychology * Sociology * EconomicsThere are many disciplines that fall under the umbrella of social science.

In the days of old it was referred to as 'domestic science'. When I was at school it came under the subject called 'home economics'.

Science New and Earth Island
Geology, the study of rocks and minerals, right? That falls under earth sciences, or history of the earth.
That description fails to account for the fact that so much human activity under capitalism is matter of being forced to do something, not a matter of choice. For instance, the majority of people are forced to sell their ability to work for a wage. And scarcity is an artificial situation caused by capitalism’s rule of no profit- no production.
Economics is the study of how individuals make decisions under conditions of scarcity and its concepts are heavily based on experimental and empirical data, not the subjective conclusions made through value judgements. Value judgements are based on personal opinions that judge the rightness and the wrongness of matters and this is an approach that cannot be applied to economics. Economics does not take on this approach and relies on the experimental and empirical data that is available objectively. Similarly, a science is anything that proposes a theory (or hypothesis) and tests the theory to make a conclusion about the matter, based on experimental evidence that supports the hypothesis. Economics is basically this. Economists propose theories about both individual behaviour (microeconomy) and the behaviour of the aggregate economy (macroeconomy) and tests them by applying them to real-life situations. Therefore, economics is a science and its discipline is not based on value judgements.

Children are too young to become involved with politics. The question uses the term "enter". Clearly, people under the age of 18 cannot "enter" politics. Teenagers in high school, however, can study lower levels of political science and economics. And of course study the political history of their respective countries.
