Why Study Economics?

If you only like philosophy, be a philosopher. If you only like history, be a historian. If you only like math, be a mathematician. If you only like sociology, be a sociologist. But if you like all of those things, be an economist.

Once you start thinking about economics, its hard to think about anything else.
