ECON 101 Principles of Economics I

An introduction to the economic way of thinking that includes both micro- and macroeconomic topics. We begin with an analysis of how market supply and demand help allocate resources and discuss market power, market failures, and the role of government regulation. We explore the determination of gross domestic product, the problems of unemployment and inflation, and macroeconomic policy making.
