DESCRIPTION
This course introduces the study of economics at a national or international level in order to develop a basic understanding of major economic events that shape the world around us, such as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on national economies and the world as a whole. The course explores the origins of recent crises and their affect on the global economy, with significant effects on foreign trade, employment, production, and asset prices. Students will evaluate the implications of macroeconomic developments and recovery policies put in place by policymakers as they relate to the goods, money, and labor markets. Through a macroeconomic lens, students will consider timely trends and issues such as the wealth gap, planned obsolescence, globalizations, inflation, and economic sustainability.
