what is the difference between economics and sociology?

Some people claim that economics is all about how people make choices while sociology is all about why they don't have any choices to make.
Any supporting evidence for that?

The definition have two version
Traditional one
Economics is the study of behavior in allocating scarce resources to satisf unlimited wants
Steven Cheung 's one
Economics is an empirical science resting on the axiom(postulate) of selfshness or self-interest to explain and predict human behaviour


Sociology is the study of society and human social action. Society is formed with many individuals. To be well organized, there should be rules in the society. Thus, individuals would act and react on those rules. Such actions might or might not influence the rules as well.

我自己覺得經濟理論有用原因係,佢本身理論假設係一啲錯ge嘢(對錯不重要)或者係將現實世界簡化,然後不斷驗証,而去找出理論去解釋同推測人類行為。經濟學厲害在將現實世界簡化成一、兩件事,但將佢套用係現實到(現實複雜好多同好多條件,限制)都可以有無比解釋力,呢到就係經濟學力量。

比個例子你:大衛李嘉圖(David Ricardo)所提出嘅比較優勢定律(comparatively advantages)根據李嘉圖的理論,即使一個國家在所有製造業中比其他國家更加高效,它也能夠通過專注於其最擅長領域、與其他國家的進行貿易交往而獲取利益。李嘉圖認為,工資應該自由競爭,同理也不應限制從國外進口農產品。比較優勢的好處體現在分配和增加實際收入。在李嘉圖的理論中,分配體系包括了對外貿易的影響,外貿並不直接影響利潤,因為利潤只隨工資水準變動。它對收入的影響是良性的,因為外貿不改變商品價值。

而心理學只不過係觀察人類行為去找出佢哋共有嘅行為特徵,有啲可能係病,大家唔係同一個範疇,唔係咁容易比較

係李嘉圖理論入面佢假設交易國家只有兩個,每個國家生產兩種相同產品,仲要係同質,但係運用係現實中卻非常有用。
