ECONOMICS! Without a doubt!

It's lot more logical and is overall a lot harder
It requires more analytical skills and forces you to think more because it's a lot more challenging.

Also, businesses is very basic. Therefore UNIs look down on it

One more thing, DONT do both.

Good luck!
I say economics is a lot more harder than business and alot more quantitative. It's also pretty useful in understanding all the business news you see on TV especially the EU and government policies.

Plus economics has a unit called business economics in the 2nd year. So if you have an interest in business you will learn some of the business stuff in economics. So you kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

However if you plan on doing an economics degree than do a level maths as well. Since an economics degree is very quantitative.

Depends on your personal goals, if you want to get to a top uni then picking both is throwing yourself into the snake pit. However, business is very basic; anyone can learn it thus it's not very respected. If you really want to do it, do business as a 4th A-level.
Or just do 3 (not including business) and learn the concepts in your own time
