Has concise medic written about social science? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

economics

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'social science?' is the definition.
(economics is a kind of social science)

'has concise medic written about' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'about' could be 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic) and 'on' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for economics that I've seen before include "Branch of knowledge dealing with material resources" , "Study of financial management" , "Treasury's concern" , "Study of the finances of the state" , "Study of wealth and money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
