Have you ever actually looked at (and read/understood) the first twenty
pages of an Economics GCSE textbook?

As an aside, a third of my third year degree course was doing the entire
first year economics lectures - but not having to do all the course
work.

The other thirds were in the Maths department (mainly stats and game
theory) and the Engineering Department (what they called back then
'Operational Research' - applying algorithms to the planning of things,
and queuing theory).

I think there should be more multi-disciplinary degrees like that.
