Welcome to the Economics Page!
The purpose of this course is to introduce you to basic micro and macro economic principles and provide you with a greater understanding of the influence that economics has had on creating an increasingly interdependent global community. We will examine broader principles of economics such as scarcity, supply and demand, and economic cycles as well as more specific topic s like Michigan’s economic woes, foreign trade, and overseas outsourcing. Throughout this semester we will research, discuss, and debate current local, national, and international economic issues in an effort to ensure that you leave this course with a greater knowledge of how our economy works and how it affects your everyday lives.
