Course summary

Economics is the study of how the modern world works. How is the price of oil arrived at and what impact does it have on businesses and the economy? Will you be able to afford a house? Why is education and health care ‘free’ in Britain? Why are cigarettes, alcohol, and petrol taxed so heavily? What can be done about poverty, both in the UK and around the world? Do state benefits make people lazy? Should you be setting money aside for a pension? What can be done about climate change? Will Britain prosper outside of the EU? These are all economic questions.
