What and why of economics ?


The boring and correct  way to define Economics is that " Economics is a science which deals with the production , distribution and consumption of goods and services.  but the more easy way to explain to a beginner is the scarce definition .  
According to Robbins , " Economics is a science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses. "
So according to me economics is  a science which came into existence for maximum utilization of minimum resource.
the definition of economics is incomplete without the wealth definition of Adam smith (father of economics) he defined economics as " Economics is a science which inquired into the nature and causes of wealth of nations".
My favorite definition and most philosophical definition is given by Alfred marshal , who said " Economics is the study of man in the ordinary business of life ".

Still, sectors like services, digital economy, infrastructure, and manufacturing (spurred by "Make in India" and PLI schemes) are driving the rebound. 2. Inflation and Interest Rates: Treading the Tightrope Inflation in early 2025 has remained moderate, within the RBI’s toleran...

Why Rupee and other Currencies are falling against dollar?

💸 Why Is the Indian Rupee Falling Against the US Dollar? A Simple Explanation for Everyone By Lalan Choudhary | BPSC Rank 72 Recently, a friend innocently asked me on WhatsApp: “Why is the rupee falling so much against the dollar? Is India’s economy doing badly?” It’s a great question — and the short answer is no, this fall is not due to India's weak economy, but due to global factors, especially what's happening in the United States. In this post, let’s break it down in simple terms so that anyone can understand. 📉 What’s Causing the Rupee to Fall? If you look at the trend, you’ll notice the rupee has consistently depreciated against the US dollar over the past months and years. However, this is not because India is failing. Instead, it’s mainly because: Inflation is rising in the US. The US Federal Reserve is aggressively raising interest rates to control that inflation. Global investors are reacting by moving money to the US, causing the dollar to strengthen. In fact, the ...
