Course summary

Economics is a fascinating and vital subject. It uses theories and models to explain the decisions we, firms and governments make, and the impact they have on our wellbeing. The appropriate role of government and free markets in a modern economy is examined. Key issues explored including the role of international trade; poverty and income inequality; and how we might move away from mass consumption and ecological destruction. Economics provides you with the analytical tools to assess solutions to such key issues critically.
