accounting is calculating how much money is coming in, going out, being taken by taxes, etc.
economics is the study of how people use their limited resources to maximize their happiness.
economics is more of a hybrid of social science and science, whereas accounting is primarily business. usually accountants tell the company that they made extra money. economists would tell them how to spend the extra money efficiently

An accountant uses numbers for everyday situations; it is his job to look at income vs outgoing on a small or large basis.
Economics is the broad study of an area about who earns how much, impact on how people spend their money..it is in my opinion a filler course (if you have nothing to take and want to get some credits) I would not say it is a "fun" course. It sounds more like a research course.
