Economics is the social science that looks at how choices are made in society - in individual markets and at the level of the whole economy. Who gets what and why? We look at how markets function, whether they give us what we want and why they fail - sometimes spectacularly. The methodology of Economics is applied to practical situations that impact on each of us. Should state spending on education fall in times of austerity? What relation has the cost of coffee beans to the price of a Costa cappuccino? How can the rational behaviour of millions of people cause calamitous stock market crashes? This is a challenging, stimulating course, appropriate for students with a keen interest in current affairs plusan ability to express themselves in written argument, supported by data.
