What the college says

Economics allows us to understand how markets, economies and individuals operate to answer questions such as; Why do we not just limit the price of housing if there is a shortage? Why are footballers and actors paid more than nurses and doctors? Why do you get less Euros for the Pound some years and more in others? Essentially Economics involves the mechanisms surrounding an individuals, firms or countries decisions surrounding choice in a world where resources are scarce and in some cases finite. If we make the best use of the planets resources; it is in all our interests. Economics develops theories that allow us to understand the complexities of the real world and help us to use the worlds resources more efficiently.
