Course Description
The goal of the 12th grade Economics course is to provide students with a functioning knowledge of the field which will serve them both in practical life and as a base on which to build further mastery of the subject. At the end of the course students should be able to recognize broad economic conditions and trends as well as analyze the causes and effects of these trends in the practical world. Additionally they should recognize the foundations of the debates over government involvement and effectiveness in economic matters, as well as the inherent difficulties of attempts at economic modeling.
This course uses Essentials of Economics, by Bradley R. Schiller, published by McGraw-Hill.
