For example: what is happening to unemployment in the UK? why does the government want to keep inflation low? why are most of the poorest countries in the world in Africa? what are the advantages and disadvantages of economic growth? how can Economists help to reduce pollution? are supermarket price wars really in the public interest? should the UK join the Euro? should the government raise taxes to spend more on education and health care? what will the world be like when you retire?
