Traditionally, economics is presented as the study of scarcity. In practice, people notice the scarcity, so it is a study of what people do do, or should do, about the scarcity. Personal opinion: it runs heavily to making heroic assumptions about what people should do, in order to coerce the mathematics into being tractable and producing unique answers. I went to a seminar recently which said heterogeneity was important, in which case the predictions are not unique.
