WHAT IS ECONOMICS?
Actually, economics is not about teaching you how to buy and sell stocks.
Economics is about choices: when resources are limited, how do individuals, businesses, and governments make decisions? How do those decisions interact to shape the markets, industries, and broader economic forces we encounter every day?
Economics is not an investment course. It is a way to understand choices, institutions, and how society works.
