Economics

Hi! It's my personal belief that economics is a staple course in any student's life. Economics affects our daily lives in both obvious and subtle ways. From an individual perspective, economics frames many choices we have to make about work, leisure, consumption and how much to save. Since economics filters greatly into daily life, I believe that the earlier you start, the better! So come join these free online classes and begin your study of one of the most exciting classes in the world. This class is geared towards those with little to no experience in this topic.

Teacher: Eric G.

Economics helps you with many skills, including but not limited to

• thinking logically and critically.

• the ability to simplify complex issues and extract the relevant pieces of information.

• data analysis.

• written and spoken communication.

• problem-solving using your initiative.

• time management.

• commercial and cultural awareness.

• teamwork and interpersonal skills.

Moreover, economic literacy also gives people the tools for understanding their economic world and how to interpret events that will either directly or indirectly affect them. Nations benefit from having an economically literate population because it improves the public's ability to comprehend and evaluate critical issues.The fundamental economic problem is that societies do not have enough productive resources to produce everything people want, aka scarcity. The study of economics is important because it helps people become better citizens by helping us become better at making decisions.
