This course explores the basic tenets of our economic system, such as
free enterprise, the market system, and supply and demand. In addition, we
will look at alternative economics systems operating in other nations. All
students will be required to participate in an interactive stock
market simulation for a ten-week period in conjunction with Sacramento State
University. Current events will consistently integrate into the
course, allowing students to see the relevance of their studies in the
context of the world in which they live.
