Important choices involves how much time to spend on work, school, leisure, and how much money to spend and save, how to take in use and combine resources to create products and services, and how to vote and maintain the level of taxes and the role of government.
Often times people tends to use resources to improve way of living which comprises happiness that people receive from the commodities they select to take in use. To simplify with we can say; Economics is the study of labor, land and investment (of money, income, and production, and of taxes and government expenditures).
