APEC1905: The Ordinary Business of Life: Issues in Business, Government, and Macroeconomics

3 CreditsFreshman SeminarIntellectual Community

The world of economics is sometimes referred to as the study of the ordinary business of life. In this course we will discover, reflect on, and teach ourselves about a selected group of topics in the fields of business management and economics. While the first quarter of our meetings will be on business and economic history to provide context (the "Economic Revolution," the Federal Reserve System, and the role of government in the economy), the second quarter of class will analyze macro issues related to the domestic and world economies (economic growth, income inequality, the New Economy, and globalization). The third and fourth quarters of our time together will be micro-related. As part of this class, we will investigate the fields of leadership and business ethics through a series of readings and films. In addition, throughout the term some of our class discussions will be dedicated to helping you make your transition to and navigation of the University a smooth one. prereq: freshman
