Economics

Course summary

The study of Economics looks at how societies and individuals organise themselves to secure and improve their wellbeing. It looks at the issues which affect decisions in everyday life such as those of an individual when choosing a career path or whether or not to buy a house. It also studies the behaviour of firms and the collective decisions that governments make, such as the level of taxes and spending on key public services. In short, studying A level Economics will give you a much better insight into the key decisions which shape all of our lives and enable you to have an informed view on them. It will also help you to participate positively in society as citizens, producers and consumers.
