Why does money matter—and what does the economy mean for students' future? This course offers a clear and engaging introduction to the role of money in financial systems, inflation, and economic policy. Students will explore how money flows through the economy, influences global markets, and responds to the actions of key players like consumers, businesses, governments, and central banks. Students will gain insight into how monetary and fiscal policies shape economic growth, interest rates, employment, and investment around the world. Whether students are planning a career in banking, financial management, economic consulting, or public policy, this course equips students with the tools to think critically about money’s influence in both business and government. It’s also an ideal starting point for anyone curious about a future in economic strategy or policymaking.
