What the college says

Economists recognise we live in a world where resources such as oil, drinking water, plumbers, iPads, etc. are limited whereas our wants are unlimited. Economics is therefore the study of allocating resources. In practice we answer questions such as; • Is university worth getting into debt for? • Why are so many goods made in China? • What are the solutions to poverty? • Will interest rates rise or fall?
