Foundations of Economics: Understanding Markets, Policies, and Decision-Making
Economics is at the heart of decision-making—whether at the level of individuals, businesses, or governments. It affects everything from the prices we pay for everyday goods to national policies that influence employment, trade, and economic growth. This Introduction to Economics course provides a strong foundation in economic principles, helping you understand how economies function and how economic choices impact society.
This course will cover fundamental topics such as supply and demand, opportunity cost, market equilibrium, inflation, unemployment, and economic growth. You will explore different economic systems, market structures, and the role of governments in regulating markets and managing economies. Through real-world case studies, you will see how economic theories apply to everyday situations—whether it's understanding why gas prices fluctuate, how government policies affect employment, or why some countries grow faster than others.
In addition to theory, this course emphasizes practical applications. You will learn how to critically analyze economic trends, interpret data, and make informed decisions based on economic reasoning. Whether you are a student, entrepreneur, business professional, or simply someone interested in understanding how economies function, this course will provide the tools needed to navigate financial and economic landscapes confidently.
