Why study Economics ?
What makes the price of oil go up ? Why is there unemployment ? What is inflation and what are its consequences ? All of these are questions where economics plays an important role. Wondering how companies will ever be able to continue producing CDs with i-tunes around ? Wondering about why people in some occupations get paid more than others ? Economics ! Thinking about the cost of petrol and what makes it so high ? Economics ! Worried about rent and trying to figure out where to live ? Economics again ! All of these questions revolve around economics and economics plays a key role in these and many other questions too. In short, economics is all around you.
