Question

What is the relationship of economics to natural sciences?

Answer 1

Economics is "The study of how a society allocates their scarce resources" and this can be related to science in MANY ways.

From the the amount of available trees in the winderness to how we allocate how much we cut down to how much we don't cut down.

Economics is also the "study of relationships" especially "cause and effect" in terms of what you take away from one thing and how it affects something else.

I hope this helps!
