Classical economics

Classical economics is a type of economics which looks at how people decide to use the limited resources they have to make the things they need and want. It also looks at how people use money to pay for things, like when you get paid for work and then buy things with that money. Classical economists think that when people make decisions about work, investments and spending, it has an overall good effect on the economy and leads to growth.
