Are you curious about how the world works? Economics has the answer. It is the study of how we can satisfy our infinite wants, with the scarce resources available on earth. Why are there such contrasts between wealth and poverty in our world? How can we keep consuming goods and services while minimising the impact on the environment? What does the government do to improve living standards, reduce prices and reduce unemployment? How have globalisation and trade contributed to the Brexit vote and Trump’s election win? Economics is about choice and the impact of our choices on each other. It relates to every aspect of our lives, from the decisions we make as individuals and families to the structures created by governments and firms. The economic way of thinking can help us make better choices.
You do not need to have studied Economics or Business GCSE before, but if you have studied at GCSE, you need at least a grade 6. You will need to write a structured essay and to do some mathematics, so you will need at least a grade 6 in GCSE Maths. You will be expected to keep up to date by reading a newspaper or following news in the media.
