Economics

Course summary

This course covers elements of Business and Economics and allows students to relate what they are learning to the world around them – locally, nationally and globally. Economics B provides a unique insight into much of what happens in the real world – why are some commodities more expensive than others? Why do some people earn so much? Why is it sometimes so difficult for people to find jobs? It looks at the role of Governments – how involved should they be in what we buy, how much we earn or how firms behave? What is their role in managing the economy, and how effectively can they do so? Economics B explains how markets work – invaluable knowledge for anyone looking to pursue a career in buying or selling, management or policy making.
