Class Notes

From the Instructor: This course introduces concepts of economics in an approachable manner. Have you wondered why the cost of college has increased so rapidly, why some countries remain poor while others become increasingly wealthier? Have you wondered if or why we need mandates to force responsible behavior, why housing in Santa Cruz is so expensive? You will soon see how integrated economics is in our day-to-day lives, and will be surprised at how regularly we use and can use these concepts of economics in our decision-making and in the assessment of events around us. I look forward to meeting you over Zoom. (Weekly section attendance required.)
