Aristo adds: Spoken like a true Communist who doesn't understand legitimate Economics. Anyways Frederick, there are 3 BROAD Branches of Knowledge, or Disciplines, in which most sub disciplines may fall in. (Funny thing Frederick, I couldn't find this on Wikipedia) 1. Arts & Philosophy (Fine Art, History, Theology, etc...) 2. Science & Applied Sciences (Natural Sciences, Medicine, Technology, etc...) 3. Business & Management (Accounting, Finance, Operations, etc...) Economics is one sub-discipline that partly lies in all 3 Broad disciplines. Personally, I'd like to think that Science (my first love) is what drives individuals and the natural world around us, and Economics (my second love) is what drives Society as a whole. Don't take me up on that too seriously, its just my feeling without much profound thought. Cheers, Aristo. ------------------------------------------------------- Goanet recommends, and is proud to be associated with, 'Domnic's Goa' - A nostalgic romp through a bygone era.
