While I'm not a fan of English and writing, it should be mandatory just to help make sure the population stays reasonably literate.

Politicians fool idiots who don't understand that they can be tricked, students of economics understand how they can be tricked and are thus very hard to deceive as they know what to look for, so by teaching everyone about how the government is going to trick you, you then minimise the amount of votes based on ridiculous reasoning.

The exact same thing would happen with philosophy. They'd teach you all about the wonders of Uncle Kant et al.

Certainly though, choosing to study economics in university would be wise.

Multilingualism is the use of two or more languages, either by an individual speaker or by a community of speakers. Multilingual speakers outnumber monolingual speakers in the world's population.

Some people do not make a distinction between the two.
