Introduction to Economics: Micro, Macro, and Policy

Do you want to understand the forces that shape global markets, national budgets, and your personal finances? Economics provides the crucial framework for analyzing decision-making and resource allocation. This course equips you with a solid foundation in economic theory, allowing you to interpret current events, evaluate policy decisions, and understand how markets function at both the individual and national levels. What you'll learn: * Understand the core differences between microeconomics (individual choices) and macroeconomics (national economies). * Analyze fundamental concepts of supply, demand, and market equilibrium in competitive environments. * Master the tools of fiscal policy (taxation, government spending) and monetary policy (interest rates, money supply). * Apply principles of development economics and resource planning to evaluate strategies for national growth. * Learn how to interpret and evaluate key economic indicators such as GDP, inflation, and unemployment rates. We begin with foundational definitions and historical context before moving into the practical application of microeconomic and macroeconomic models. The course concludes by examining policy tools used for national planning and development.
