Short note about the relation between economics and political science
Political science and economics are social sciences. Political science is the study of politics in theory and practice, while economics is the study of how resources are produced, allocated, and distributed.A variety of topics related to politics are addressed by political science. This includes differing political philosophies about how society should operate. It also includes the way political systems work to produce laws and government.

Economics deals with two main areas. Microeconomics is the study of how individual consumers and businesses make production, purchasing, investment, and saving choices. Macroeconomics looks at how an entire economy works and the way policies can affect the combined effects of microeconomic decisions. It can be argued that economics is a social science rather than a pure science, because it is based around resolving an irresolvable dilemma: how to meet people's unlimited wants with limited resources
