Positive economics deals with A. value judgments B. how the economy does work C. how the economy should work D. how the federal government should operate E. what the price level should be

Answer: Option (b) is correct

Explanation:

Positive economics is the field where economy is studied and analysed without predicting about its judgement in terms of goodness or badness. This theory defines about cause and effect that causes economic processes and behavior.

Other options are incorrect because operation of federal government and price level is not set by positive economics also does not describe value decisions and expectation about economy should operate. Thus, the correct option is option (b).
