As far as passion goes

I am having to take some exams in June in relation with my NYSC stuffs. So here I was in Economics class and I am not sure I ever enjoyed it so much. The dude tutoring me was just shooting information from the top of his head I got super dazed. And cockily replied my questions, "its something I have been doing for years." Oh really?!

While he took off, I could only just think of the many applications of Economics. It is a social science anyway, what other social behaviors can it be applied to and what other sciences can derive a new nature from it. The possibilities are endless as I considered my field of Computer Science and how a little Economics application can do it some good. Perhaps, if NASA Engineers were not so crazy smart they could look at Space Engineering from an Economics (as an application, not a study) perspective. I once read an article on relationships where the guy explained it using Economical Bell Curves; it was rather interesting though it dealth more with supply and demand of sex based on certain factors.

Thinking while listening, I think I left the class spiritually speaking. My mind was a thousand light years away. I got to think perhaps studying more of Economics could change my world view, give me something new to worry about. A new hobby of sorts and being able to look at problems or nations/economies and having a ready practicable theory to back it up. If nothing else, it makes for good conversation for the enlightened or atleast I can follow other conbversations. Which got me into thinking...

I have been interested in Human Psychology for some time now. I have read a couple Psychological thrillers or where some form of Psychology was used as a plot in a book. I wouldnt remember the titles now... What got me interested in them is a lot like how I am suddenly feeling about Economics. The application of Psychology in my everday movement. Looking at people and deciphering something about them, predicting their intent, or understanding something about them better. More fun actually helping them understand themselves, not that I want to.

What has this got to do with anything, if you know any good Economics and Psychology books, novels, articles let me hear about it. This is my passion for now, what I feel like feeding on. As far as books go, I graduated from John Grisham, Sidney Sheldon, Michael Crichton (actually I have read every novels they wrote). I was digging law at one time. It was just more expressive than I thought it would be, the thinking on your feet, defending someone who did wrong from a point of view that acquits them by saying "yes he done it, however..." Awesome. Brilliant.

The ultimate thing though is when I can write for my field of study using the concepts of Economics, I really doubt - not impossible - that Psychology of writing computer code will make any sense.
