Economics is the study of costs and benefits. What are the costs? Social costs? Environmental costs? And who gets the benefits? Infrastructure? Tax breaks? Welfare? Medicare (I am Canadian)? Economics is a can of worms.

That is like trying to define chemistry or physics in one sentence. It WAY over simplifies what it is or covers. just because it is hard to understand doesn't mean that it is meaningless. Because it is a dynamic science, it difficult for even the best economists to agree on all facets.

I used to know a little bit of chemistry. Can I define it in 1 sentence? Let me try. CHEMISTRY is an exploration of the exchange of energy between things. Is that a good staring point?

@SeanMoore Not even close.

@SeanMoore Chemistry is the study of the composition of everything and how it interacts with everything else. would be a beginning, but as you can see that is way to vague to be meaningful and will need massive refining to be of any use.

@glennlab Sorry for wasting your time.

@SeanMoore To quote John M Keyenes, " in the long run, none of this matters, because we'll all be dead" one of the greatest economist of all time.

Economic growth.

Nothing else matters.

Except to the poor.

But they don't matter,
