Course Title: ECONOMICS
Course Description
Economics is one of the most in-demand courses today. Every part of the business has to do with finance and wealth and this is where a professional in Economics comes in. Economics is the practical and theoretical science of the production and distribution of wealth. It is based on the system of the production, buying, and selling of goods and services. Although there are various subdivisions of economics, the two main areas of study are microeconomics and macroeconomics.
Economists study how society uses, regulates, and distributes its natural and human-made resources such as land, labor, raw materials, and machinery to produce goods and services (Horizons, 2000).
