Economists are concerned with how a society manages, produces and distributes its wealth, both material and immaterial. The material aspects contributing to well-being include income, housing, food, water, environment and transportation, while the immaterial aspects include health, happiness, beauty and social cohesion. In a nutshell, economists are concerned with the conditions that contribute to a society's well-being, and they seek to make the world a better place. Economic issues affect everyone, but there are also personal reasons for studying economics: it allows you to develop analytical and abstract skills, and helps you to evaluate the costs and benefits associated with any action.
