Uncover the Economic Forces Shaping Your Everyday Decisions
When you hear "economics" in the news, you probably picture trade tariffs, inflation, or unemployment. Sure, those topics matter, but economics goes far beyond headline issues. Every day, you’re making economic choices, often without even realising it.
Imagine this: your one-hour lunch break represents a host of economic decisions. Choosing between a leisurely park stroll or joining an insightful webinar isn’t just a scheduling issue, it’s a decision about how you allocate your limited resources. This is the essence of microeconomics, and is at the core of economics along with the macro topics dominating public discourse.
Webinar Date: June 10th
Time: 1 - 2pm
In our webinar, you’ll discover how economic principles influence every decision, from the mundane to the monumental, including:
Recognize economic choices in daily life: Understand why every decision, even how you spend your lunch hour, has economic considerations.
Bridge the gap between theory and practice: See how concepts like scarcity and resource allocation impact both your personal choices and wider global trends.
Global insights: Role of economics in global macro issues that dominate the newswires.
Join me for a journey into the practical side of economics that affects you every day.
