‘In Economics, the majority is always wrong’ – JK Galbraith There has never been a better time for students to learn about Economics. From Brexit to Black Lives Matter, Universal Basic Income to Government Debt, the subject is everywhere. Students who choose Economics will learn the basic principles of the subject and how to apply them to real world problems. It provides them with an understanding of the wider world, and the ability to think critically about issues facing society. What will we do when the oil runs out? How will globalisation affect our futures? Is a ‘fat’ tax a solution to obesity? Why is the UK so obsessed with house prices? How can countries so rich in natural resources be amongst the world’s poorest? We cannot promise absolute solutions but we can guarantee a good discussion. As a social science, it sits perfectly between the Humanities and Science subjects, and thus is often the perfect balance for students looking for a wider range of A-Level options. A typical A-Level group will have students doing Maths and Science options alongside those doing English, Politics, History or Geography. This makes for a fantastic range of different perspectives, and helps students move outside their academic comfort zone.
