FROM THE HISTORY OF ECONOMICS. ECONOMICS AS A SCIENCE TODAY

    Economics is a social science studying economy. Why study economics? In fact people do it for countless reasons. For many people concern for the economy goes no further than the price of tuition or the fear of losing job. Many others, however, are aware that their job prospects and the prices they pay are somehow related to national trends in prices, unemployment, and economic growth. Although few people think in terms of price indexes and graphs most of us now recognize the importance of major economic events. And that's why so many people worry about such abstractions as unemployment rates, inflation, economic growth, etc.
    As a scholarly discipline, economics is two centuries old. The first scientist who made extraordinary contributions in economics was Adam Smith. He was born in a small fishing town near Edinburgh, Scotland. At the age of 28 Adam Smith became Professor of Logic at the University of Glasgow. Then he received a grant and devoted 10 years to writing his work "The Wealth of Nations" which founded economic science. It was published in 1776. His contribution was to analyze the way that markets organized economic life and produced rapid economic growth. He showed that a system of prices and markets is able to coordinate people and bisiness without any central direction.
