Economics (rant thread)

It's not an interesting topic for me, either, but it can be useful.
Economics helps us understand wealth distribution, production and consumption.
On the micro level, it can help you balance a budget in terms of what you want vs. what you need in order to achieve a level of financial security. This includes learning about investments and the business cycle. It can also be a method of predicting human behavior based on its cultural values and how it effects business institutions.
