I find the field is only good when combined with humanities as a focal point, e.g. economic history or economic anthropology. It needs grounded otherwise it goes full American Psycho.

There are STEM versions of economics as well which really end up being more behavior science and anthropology crossed with game theory.

Game theory is good

Economics also plays a huge role in conservation as well.

Sadly the focus is put on making the conservation work for the economic interests rather than the economy working for conservation efforts.

My econ professors did not like me that much when I had to take their classes for my conservation degree.
