    Description
    This course is a one semester broad survey of economic ideas and theories in the context of economic history (with references to major economic thinkers) suitable for Pre-Business and Non-Business majors. Starting with history and evolution of economic ideas, both microeconomic and macroeconomic topics are covered including general principles of demand and supply, production and cost, market structures, profit motive, inflation, unemployment, fiscal and monetary policy and international trade. The course is designed for students who desire to acquire a general perspective of the economy without the intensive and theoretical and quantitative analysis and policy applications of Economics 1 and 2.
