Chapter 1: Fundamentals of Economics
Introduction
Economics is the study of how individuals, businesses, and governments make choices
about the allocation of scarce resources. These choices are driven by various factors such
as needs, wants, and the availability of resources. Economics helps us understand the
mechanisms that govern the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and
services.
1.1 What is Economics?
Economics is often divided into two main branches: microeconomics and
macroeconomics.
- Microeconomics focuses on the behaviour of individual agents, such as households and
firms, and how they interact in markets. It examines how these agents make decisions to
allocate limited resources.
- Macroeconomics looks at the economy as a whole, focusing on aggregate measures such
as national income, unemployment, and inflation. It studies economic phenomena that
affect the entire economy.
