The Economics course begins with a survey of the basic principles concerning production; consumption; and distribution of goods and services within the free enterprise system. Students will examine the rights and responsibilities of consumers and businesses; analyze the interaction of supply; demand; and price; and study the role of financial institutions. Types of business ownership; market structures; and basic concepts of consumer economics will be surveyed. The impact of a variety of factors including geography; government intervention; economic philosophies; historic documents; societal values; scientific discoveries and technological innovations on the national economy; and economic policy will be an integral part of the course.
