Cultivate Economic Thinking

Some degree programs for related disciplines, such as environmental science, government, public policy, and social studies, require students to take introductory economics as a foundational course.Gale Researcher provides articles and supplemental materials (i.e. charts, graphs, illustrations, pictures, videos, etc.) to help students become familiar with basic economic principles and gain the initial knowledge needed to understand how an economy works.
