Half Year Course – Spring; 90 minutes
As one author states, “Anyone who earns money, spends money, saves money, or invests money is involved in economics. All of us play a part in the economy. A good foundation in economics is a vital component of a solid high school education.” Students will understand how to be a valuable, informed contributor to the economy on the personal, household, local, national, and international levels. Included are the topics of supply and demand, circular flow of income and products, the use of money, banking, and government intervention, the promotion of free-market ideals, business competitions, unemployment, productivity, and inflation.
This class is for students in 9th-12th grade.
