Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Taking an introductory course in economics can help students learn how to make rational decisions by providing basic knowledge on how individuals, firms, and governments make choices given their limited resources. However, it does not turn the student into an economist or provide solutions to most social problems. It is also not designed to answer complex social questions beyond the basic principles of economics.
