Economics is the study of our expanding human needs and wants, of our increasingly elaborate economies, of our more complex production processes, and of the impact of increasingly intricate technologies, more refined skills, and greater trade.

In a world of ever increasing constrained resources, the study of Economics must also incorporate philosophic and moral precepts that more properly define the wants and desires of a person, business and community, conditions for material betterment, and value espousals to both better compete and collaborate for the common good.
