Economics is a Social Science that seeks to analyse and describe the production distribution and consumption of wealth.
History: - “History is the study of the human past, scholars who write about history are called historians. It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine and analyse the sequence of events and it sometimes attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events Historians debate the nature of history and its usefulness (Evans, Richard J.2001).
Political Science: It is a social science concerned with the theory and practice of politics and the description and analysis of political systems and political behaviour. “Political scientists see themselves engaged in revealing the relationships underlying political events and conditions. And from these revelations they attempt to construct general principles about the way the world of politics works” (Lane 1996) . Political science intersects with other fields: including public policy, national polities, international relations, comparative polities and political theory.
