INTRODUCTION

Economics has been studied for centuries as there has always been great curiosity about the nature and determinants of wealth and well-being, and how scarce resources should be employed. Economics operates at different levels: the theoretical, the technical and the advisory. Sometimes all are combined in one concept, for example, an examination of prices requires a consideration of theory, methods of pricing and prices policies. Some economic ideas are basic to much of economics discourse, such as cost; others are related to the analysis of particular problems, as is the case with environmental economics. Economics has long been sectarian so attention has to be paid to the many schools of thought. Political and social problems often have an economic dimension so different types of economic policy abound.
