Economics

Economics () is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.

Wikipedia

Finance

Finance is a field that deals with the study of investments. It includes the dynamics of assets and liabilities over time under conditions of different degrees of uncertainties and risks. Finance can also be defined as the science of money management. Market participants aim to price assets based on their risk level, fundamental value, and their expected rate of return. Finance can be broken into three sub-categories: public finance, corporate finance and personal finance.

Economics is, in essence, the study of poverty.

Finance

The world of finance is a mysterious world in which, incredible as the fact may appear, evaporation precedes liquidation.

Joseph Conrad, Victory: An Island Tale, part I, chap. 1 (1915)

Wikiquote

Finance

Nothing in finance is more fatuous and harmful, in our opinion, than the firmly established attitude of common stock investors regarding questions of corporate management. That attitude is summed up in the phrase: "If you don't like the management, sell your stock." [...] The public owners seem to have abdicated all claim to control over the paid superintendents of their property.

Benjamin Graham, World Commodities and World Currencies (1944)

EU-research 'clears' the way for high quality lakes and reservoirs

The growth of blue-green algae in our lakes, large ponds, water reservoirs and public waters constitutes a problem for our environment and for our health. These types of algae often result in a deterioration of the water quality and emit a distinctly unpleasant odour. The algae consume a lot of oxygen in the water, leaving little for other animals like fish. They also produce toxins which can cause skin irritations and are suspected to be involved in the occurrence of liver cancer.
