It is also a great complementary subject to other popular subjects such as Maths, Geography, History and Politics. The world is still dealing with the devastating economic effects of Covid-19 and now we are seeing the true economic impacts of Brexit. There is a huge shortage in the key labour market of truck drivers, a rise in the wholesale prices of gas, unprecedented spending and borrowing by the UK government, increasing national debt, widening economic inequality and leading to rising inflation..
