The icon for the School of Economics is a stylized rendition of a sphere with a sliced part. This symbol represents both the macro and micro levels of economics. The slice, a portion of the whole, stands for what economics is all about–a study of labor, land, and investments; of money, income, and production; and of taxes and government expenditures of a particular society.
