economic theory as a science studying economic problems and patterns that take place within the framework of the economic system, an important part of the social system.The economic system conditionally divided into spheres of activity: production, consumption, distribution and exchange.
Therefore, economic theory as a science studying the part of the whole social order - the economic system.This economic theory in the sciences is a general theoretical discipline and serves as a theoretical basis for many economic sciences: accounting, economic statistics, finance and credit, international economic relations and others.Economic theory in the sciences play a leading role.
Do not forget that the economic theory as a science studies the behavior of organizations and people in the economic system.Based on the foregoing, it is possible to give a more precise formulation of the subject of economics.As a subject acts resources and needs.With that, as resources are the intangible and tangible opportunities that meet the needs.Their main feature is the limited, ie,they are not enough to meet all the ever-growing needs of the society.At the same time, the fact of their principled limitations to emerged and developed economic theory as a science.Classification of resources include the following:
labor, expressed in human resources.In other words - a workforce that is available in the community and used in production.Labour (labor force) as a factor of production involves people with specific skills, with knowledge, skills and experience relevant to the particular production.
Capital is expressed by the fact that the labor force is used in the production process: buildings, equipment, machinery, tools, vehicles, etc.In other words, capital is the means of labor, man-grouped into two categories: real capital - expressed in physical and monetary capital - expressed in the sum of money needed for the purchase of real capital.
Earth.It should be borne in mind that economic science is under this concept involves all natural resources: land as agricultural land, water resources, mineral resources, forests, etc.
Entrepreneurial ability is seen as a factor of production, which allows to combine partial factors in a particular industry, with the ability to implement new technology and ideas.
the needs of economic science implies the need or lack of anything necessary for the functioning and development of the individual, groups of people and society.It needs to stimulate people to produce the necessary products for life.They are quite difficult to classify.Conventionally, the following groups:
Welfare
Intangible Tangible
Individual
public.
Note that needs vary in accordance with the development of society one disappear, and instead there are others.It needs much more than the opportunity to meet them.
In economic theory allocate public and private methods.Common methods include common philosophies and principles applied in the analysis of the economy.They are formed within the dialectical method.
addition, private methods are also based on the dialectical method.Private methods of economics include: abstraction, analysis and synthesis, the assumption, deduction and induction, the unity of history and logic, as well as statistical and mathematical methods.
subject and method of economics apply to the different levels of analysis of the economy at the macro and micro levels of the global economy.
