how about social economics ? = D go to PhD School and check out some of the threads under economics

imo there are 2 sides to economics - one that involves the number crunching and the other and involves a lot of understanding of history. My university falls on the number crunching side. Understanding of history and social theories falls in as an arts degree but its a lot cooler to me =D because anyone can number crunch their way through uni but to whip up a good argument essay needs a lot of reading of your history books + contemporary economics knowledge + day to day business changes.

Just giving my 2 cents I never studied economics though
