Understanding the Economy

How do markets work? Are they fair? What is the economic role of government? International trade? Exchange rates? This course will assist you in following current debates on such issues, and will help in forming your own judgments. Topics include: different market structures and why they are regulated; international trade relations and exchange rates; money, financial markets and interest rates; taxation, government debt; and growth, employment and inflation. We will refer to current issues and examples throughout, and learn how to understand the figures.
