Economics 2 introduces high school students to the study of the broad flow of goods, services, money, and governmental influence and actions throughout the American economy. Part 1 examines modern-day economic systems. Part 2 focuses on the American economy from a national perspective, asking students to grapple with problems involving taxation, inflation, and unemployment. The role of the Federal Reserve and the influence of its chairperson is explored, as well as the economic impact of various social policies. Part 3 extends the students' spectrum into the international arena, calling for realistic decisions in the world of international trade, lending, protectionism, and sanctions.
