Recommend A-Level economics? (any apec)

I'm trying to decide on A-Levels and am considering economics-I didn't do business GCSE but do have an interest in economics in general (I'm pretty competent at maths as well) would anyone recommend the subject?

In my GCSE's i got 10A*S and C in english..

Alevels-
Maths
FurtherMaths
Physics
Art
& Economics ( i did business gcses and i also pick economics alevel but i didnt like it lol too many essays.. so i chose to do Business instead. Economics is long and heavily written based subject. dont get me wrong, it is an amazing subject but not for me lol i am more of the Physics and Maths type of guy)

thanks for the feedback- it does sound good as I'm more of a literature based person myself but have to pick subjects soon and am still undecided on a 4th subject!

You can start Economics without any knowledge of anything like I did. Maths can be useful. In AS, we learnt about 5 VERY easy equations but the majority of it will be in A2 (still very little maths). It's easy to understand if you have a good teacher. You draw a lot of graphs

I had a B in maths and english GCSE (and most of my other grades) but I finished AS with A in Econ and AB for chemistry and biology so maths isn't that important but you will need good straight to the point writing skills whilst linking up theories.
