Introductory course in economics. This course builds upon the qualitative aspects of terminology, formulas and models to the quantitative application of these concepts. The four types of competition: perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly, will be covered in depth. Influential components of the U.S. market, such as labor, unions, wages and income distribution, will give the student a sound foundation toward understanding our complex economy.

This course is a continuation of Microeconomic. A shift from single businesses to the inter-relationship between businesses, consumers and investors will be covered. The aggregate economy will also see the effects of government spending, taxation,inflation, fiscal and monetary policy. This inter-relationship will be expanded to the global economy and the United States' role in this economy through international trade and financing.
