Welcome to our Discovering Dollars: An Introduction to the World of Economics! This course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of fundamental economic concepts and structures. 

From grasping the impact of scarcity and trade-offs to exploring market economies through the lens of Adam Smith, the father of modern economics, students will build a strong foundation.

We'll delve into the dynamic relationship between producers and consumers, examining how incentives, entrepreneurship, and different business organizations shape economic landscapes. Students will also explore the intricate workings of the price system, understanding supply and demand laws, equilibrium, elasticity, and the implications of price controls.

The course further explores the factors influencing income, from the market value of skills to the effects of supply and demand changes. Students will gain insight into a nation's economic goals, economic indicators, and the role of government, as well as develop knowledge about the global economy.

With a focus on developing consumer skills, students will learn to make informed purchase decisions, understand contracts, and navigate the impact of advertising on consumer behavior. They will also explore financial literacy, maintaining secure financial records, and understanding consumer rights and responsibilities.
