Abstract: The interrelationship between science, society, and economics forms the foundation of sustainable development in the 21st century. This paper explores how economic thought integrates scientific innovation, environmental sustainability, and social welfare to create a balanced pathway toward sustainable growth. Emphasizing the economic dimensions of green technology, social innovation, and policy integration, the study highlights how economies can transition from resource-intensive models to inclusive, knowledge-driven systems. It argues that sustainable growth requires not only scientific progress but also economic frameworks that prioritize equity, environmental responsibility, and technological diffusion. The paper concludes by presenting policy recommendations for integrating economic and scientific innovation toward long-term sustainability.
