    Description
    This course, designed for non-economics and non-business majors, provides a survey of both micro and macroeconomic principles and provides a foundation for ECON 1 and 2. Microeconomic areas of emphasis include scarcity, markets, supply and demand, industrial organization, and marginal analysis used for decision making by individuals and firms. Macroeconomic areas of emphasis include national income accounts, money and monetary policy, economic stabilization policies, economic growth, and international trade and finance. Credit may be earned in ECON 20 or 20H, but not both.
