This course surveys topics drawn from both macro- and microeconomics. Students explore big questions in economics, such as: How do individuals, firms, and governments make choices? What is economic rationality? How do markets function? Under what conditions do markets work well? What types of policies do governments use and how do they impact us? What data can we use to learn more about the state of the economy and how do we interpret such data? Finding answers to these questions will help students to make better decisions both professionally and academically. Pre-requisite(s): None. Co-requisite(s): None. 5 quarter hours
