From the moment a young child visits the local sweet shop with their first pocket money to spend, ‘economic’ decisions have to be made. Economics is the study of how individuals, firms, and governments decide to use their resources to provide the goods and services society requires. The subject is divided into two distinct sections: Microeconomics: looks at the behaviour of individual consumers, workers, and firms and the decisions that they make about what to buy and what to produce. Economics is often studied alongside Maths, History, and Philosophy, and Ethics. Sixth Form students who have studied the subject in the past have gone on to study Economics, Law, Accountancy, Finance, History and Maths at university.
