Economics Foundations

Scarcity, trade and prices — the ideas everything else rests on.

3 lessons · English + हिंदी · 32m

Start where economics actually starts: people have unlimited wants and limited means, and every choice costs something else. This course covers scarcity and opportunity cost, why specialisation and trade make both sides better off, and how supply and demand settle on a price.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain scarcity and opportunity cost in everyday decisions
  • Say why two parties can both gain from trade
  • Read a supply and demand diagram and predict how a price moves
