Essential Economics

I did my O & A levels in economics from the Cambridge board in the UK and one of my majors at Oberlin College was in Economics (the other major being in Religion - the 4 major ones). So I'm more than qualified to explain the basic economics of running a country or a business. 

This section is designed to introduce the subject of economics to a novice in the field. Enjoy your journey of learning.
