Economic analysis (分析) is applied (實用的) throughout society, in business, finance and government, but also in crime, education, the family, health, law, politics, religion, social institutions (習俗), war, and science. The expanding (擴大中的) domain (範圍) of economics in the social sciences has been described as economic imperialism (帝國主義).
