Economics Education Resource Guide--Economics is the study of how people, organizations and governments allocate scarce resources. Studying economics can prepare someone for a career in finance or government, where they might offer advice and analysis on economic issues. Or, for those who don’t plan on pursuing a career in the field, it can help individuals make better decisions in everyday life. Whether you are pursuing a degree in economics, trying to pass a required economics course or just have an interest in the subject, this guide it for you. It includes links to more than 40 resources, including introductory resources, study resources and news resources, among many others. Also, if you’re a teacher, we’ve included a section with resources to help add depth and new ideas to your lessons.
