Economics

This course explores the theoretical and the practical aspects of economics. Vital economic concepts (wants, needs, and resources) will be looked at in light of the daily choices people make in the business environment. Specific units include what are the various economic systems in the world, how market structures work, what are the effects of money and banking in an economy, how supply and demand can effect an economy, understanding economic performance, and how international trade works. An online stock market game will be used to give students a practical experience of seeing economic principles in action.
