Economics is the study of how markets (with suppliers, distributors, and consumers) function. Topics might include microeconomics, macroeconomics, mathematical models, etc.

Sociology is the study of how humans interact in groups. Topics might include social hierarchy, public perception of gender and race, the effect of technology on human communication, etc.
