The Individual and the Economy

This course examines the changing Canadian economy and helps students develop an understanding of their own role as economic agents. Students will apply economic models and concepts to assess the roles of the various stakeholders in the Canadian economy and analyze the interactions among them.

Students will consider the economic behavior of the individual as consumer, contributor, and citizen in a mixed economy and will apply economic inquiry, critical thinking, and communication skills to make and defend informed economic decisions.
