Overview
Doing Economics - People, Markets and Policy module at The Open University UK presents alternative economic explanations that will enable you to make your own critical judgements of which theory serves which purpose best.
The module also equips you with the research skills that you’ll need to conduct your own project on a topic you want to know more about. At the end of the module, you should have developed a more critical view of the socio-economic world in which you live.
What you will study
