Economics, Energy, and Inflation
Economics, Energy, and Inflation
Inflation is skyrocketing and gasoline prices are at the highest levels in years. This course focuses on providing students with a clear understanding of scarcity, supply and demand, and other economic pressures, both natural and artificial, and how they are interacting with international industrial production and petroleum drilling both domestically, and within the global economy.
Making sense of inflation that is the highest in decades is difficult. Different people offer different explanations, often for partisan or even religious reasons. A real understanding of how economics works in regard to inflation and an understanding of the law of scarcity is delivered in this course so that students completing it will have an understanding of what they are seeing, and unfortunately experiencing and, hopefully, will be better able to negotiate the coming ripples in the economic stream.
Not only will economic forces be discussed, but also petroleum production, supply chains, and international trade.
Ultimately the student will complete several quizzes and will also do a final project on a topic related to inflation and the global economy, which will be submitted at the end of the course. These quizzes and the project will demonstrate mastery of the subject matter. Hopefully, that mastery of subject matter will help the student long after they complete this course.
