Now the Question is whether Economics is a science or not? Economics is a science that treats of those social phenomena that are due to wealth getting and wealth using activities of Man. The word ―Economics‖ is derived from the Greeks word ―Oikonomos‖ which means to manage the house. So it means the management of a household especially in those matters, which are relating to the income and expenses of the family. After sometime, political economy term was also used for this topic and slowly political economy adopted the shape of Economics. There are numerous definitions of Economics offered from time to time but there is no clear and concise definition. Keeping in view this situation J.M. Keynes has rightly, stated ―Political Economy is said to have strangled itself with definition.‖ However, Economics is considered to be a science as well as an art. Some of its features like, self corrective nature, systematic body of knowledge, own laws and theories, universal validity of its laws (law of demand, marginal utility, law of diminishing returns etc) support economics to be a science, but its other features like lack of predictability and lack of...

...Vanessa W. Assignment 1 Department Training Series: Common Law Traditions and Sources of Law This training series will introduce you to the basic rules of law. Businesses face many legal issues that require the help of business persons “to prevent avoidable legal situations.” So it is important for business professionals to have a strong working knowledge of the laws that pertain to their type of business to ensure that their company is always in compliance. Thus, it is important to understand how and where to find the law in order to stay abreast of amendments as they are enacted. This series will serve to equip you with a basic knowledge of the rules of law applicable to business situations (Week 1 Lecture). Today I will focus on the common law, sources of American law, the importance of precedent to the judicial decision-making process, and equitable and legal remedies. In 1066 England the king’s court established a set of standardized rules for the country. This was the beginning of common law. “These rules applied throughout the entire English realm,” (Miller, 20011, p. 7). They then became a part of the legal system of all former colonies of England and the United States (Miller, 2011, p. 7). Common laws aren’t necessarily permanent laws of the books. They can be changed through state legislatures enacting statutes. Courts are able to turnover state statutes, as well, if they are found to be unconstitutional. This works to maintain a balance between the...
