Matt Nolan over at
TVHE has posted a number of times on the definition of economics, see for example
here and
here. Well the following is the quote that Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok will use as the
epigraph in their
new textbook:
Economics is the study of how to get the most out of life
Looks like a good a definition as you are likely to get.

With that definition I would say everyone is an economist - of course that is what I generally say anyway :)
If they aren't, they should be.
