Economics

About this course

Economics is the social science concerned with how individuals, firms and societies make decisions under scarcity: how resources are allocated, prices are determined, markets function and governments intervene. It ranges from the behaviour of individual consumers and firms at the microeconomic level to the macroeconomic forces that determine national income, employment, inflation and growth, and from the domestic economy to the global patterns of trade, investment and development that shape living standards around the world.
