You probably don't know much about Economics and have a very distorted view on what it is. You should definitely try reading something like the Undercover Economist by Tim Harford which is a pleasant read and a good introduction to the way economists think. Economists try to understand the world using a very consistent approach. It can seem strange at first but it is very deep.

By the way, the way economists think has been deeply influenced by John Von Neumanm who has also had a deep influence on computer science (assuming that's your thing) so you may find some interesting overlap.
