According to People's Republic of China (PRC)'s national standard "Discipline Classification and Coding" (GBT 13745-2009 (Humanities and Social Sciences)), the first-level discipline economics has the following two disciplines: political economics, macroeconomics, microeconomics, comparative economics, economic geography and development economics. Productivity economics, economic thought history, economic history, world economics, national economics, management economics? Quantitative economics, accounting and auditing, technical economics, ecological economics and labor economics. Urban economics, resource economics, environmental economics, sustainable development economics, logistics economics, industrial economics? Agricultural Economics, Transportation Economics, construction economics, business economics, Price Research, Tourism Economics. Information economics, finance, finance, insurance, national defense economics and other economic disciplines. Theoretically, the scope of economics is much larger than that of finance.

: historical origin

Finance and finance are the products of modern economy. In ancient times, it was mainly farming and agricultural economy, mainly barter and simple currency circulation, and there was no finance and finance at all. For example, in China, some financial theories are scattered in various ancient books about "financial commodities". As an independent discipline, it was first formed in the west and is called "Money Banking". The finance in modern China was introduced from the west. From classical economics to modern economics, there were various monetary banking theories.

After the late 1950s, the name "monetary credit" was gradually adopted widely. At this time, we began to pay attention to the comprehensive analysis of financial problems, put forward some theoretical problems, and discussed them in combination with China's actual situation, such as the nature of RMB, the law of currency circulation, the role of banks, fiscal revenue and expenditure, credit revenue and expenditure, and the balance between supply and demand of materials. However, generally speaking, finance was not taken seriously during this period.
