Welcome to Mr. Williams' Economics at BCDS Wiki.

This Wiki is a collaborative website for teaching and learning about economics.

Over the next 7 weeks we will explore some of the core concepts of economics and current economic issues.  Course Objectives:

This course has several objectives. Fundamentally, students should be able to critically analyze the economic issues that confront them on a daily basis. To achieve that goal, students will learn the fundamentals of mircoeconomics and macroeconomics and understand the economic way of thinking about issues. Given the current primacy of the government’s response to the global economic crisis I have moved macroeconomics to the forefront of the topics examined. Also, students should be able to see the world as a global economic environment so I have integrated a global perspective within the discussion of traditional economics. To emphasize the point, there is a unit on Globalization and a separate unit on The Developing World. I will endeavor to keep handouts to a minimum and see this Wiki as the central location for information and material relating to this class.
