Economics is derived from two Greek words: oikia a house and nomos a law. Taken together they mean ' rules for running your home'. In Ancient Greece many people could live in a house, which means it was expensive to feed, clothe and provide them with beds. Owners wanted to cut costs, which is still the basis of economics.
