Don't economists just deal with money and finance? No. Economics studies the choices people make when they can't have everything they want. The fundamental assumption of economics is that everyone will try to get the most satisfaction for themselves given the set of circumstances they face. However, economics has nothing to say about the types of things that bring satisfaction and economists recognise that many people gain satisfaction from the happiness of others. So their choice may involve balancing the happiness/well-being of others against having more consumer goods for themselves.
