its because of lionel robbins definition of economics its called a science of choice.
understanding the fact-resources are scarce and demand for goods is unlimited. for resource allocation we need to choose, for the method of production we need to choose, for distribution of finished goods we need to choose, thus right from the start economics is a science that helps us to make the more practical choice.
Because most people don’t realise that most economic ‘choices’ are really forced on people, who have little real choice in deciding what to do.
Economics is a social science which study how human being make choice to use scarce or limited resources to satisfies their unlimited choices. The word economics has been derived from two Greek words '' oikos ' means household and 'Nemien' means management.Thus the economics means management of household wants of each people are unlimited but most of the means to satisfies them like food and cloth etc are limited or scarce.Thus faced with scarcity people while managing the household must make choice people cannot have every things that they wants.So they have to choose among the available alternatives because scarcity forces people to choose. The economics is sometimes called science of choice science that explain the choice that people make and predicts how changes in circumstances affect their choices.
The reason why economics often called the study of scarcity and choice is that according to Robbin economics deal with satisfying 1.unlimided wants with 2.Limited resources Our resources or income is limited While we have unlimited wants.That's why we go for utility comparisons.while the main purpose of economics is the maximization of utility for an indiviual by using goods through limited income.
That description fails to account for the fact that so much human activity under capitalism is matter of being forced to do something, not a matter of choice. For instance, the majority of people are forced to sell their ability to work for a wage. And scarcity is an artificial situation caused by capitalism’s rule of no profit- no production.
choice is giving preference to your needs.
