Summary, etc. ECONOMICS, the subject which we are going to study in this book, is a science, one of the branches of that great systematic study of the world we live in which we call Science with a capital S. The division of Science into sciences-physics, chemistry, biology, physiology, and so on-is largely a matter of convenience; we group together in a science those particular special studies which are conveniently pursued together and pursued by the same people. This means that we cannot tell where the frontiers of a particular science will prove to be until we have developed that science; and we need not expect that these frontiers will always be found in the same place. Even between the two most highly developed of the natural sciences, physics and chemistry, the boundary is distinctly fluctuating. Chemistry deals with those aspects of the world which are con veniently studied by chemists; economics deals with those aspects which are conveniently studied by economists.<br/><br/>All the same, within the broad field of the sciences in general, economics belongs, without any doubt, to a particular sub group; it belongs to the Human Sciences, the sciences which are concerned with human behaviour. There are other human sciences besides economics: there is psychology, and there is politics (the science of government); there is perhaps also sociology, a less definite science dealing with such things as religion and the family. All these touch on economics, so that the student of economics is well advised to maintain a certain interest in them; from his point of view politics is probably the most important-the dividing-line which separates it from economics is the hardest to draw. The close connexion between economics and politics is illustrated in the older name for economics Political Economy.
