Welcome to Mr. Tredinnick's Economics Class

The goal this one semester Economics course is for the student 
to demonstrate an understanding of basic economic concepts. Students become familiar with the economic systems of the world, with a focus on the economic system of the United States, and how they operate. By examining different economic systems students will be finding out how different economic systems operate and what impact they have on the people. Students will examine their roles as consumer, worker, investor and voting citizen. Topics of discussion include the Stock Market, comparative economic systems, and the impact of political and social decisions on the economy.
