The course equips students with essential analytical tools and core concepts - including revenue, cost, opportunity cost, elasticities, and the distinctions between marginal and average values - that are vital for understanding market dynamics and firm behaviour.

The syllabus spans topics such as the Capitalist Revolution, technological change, population growth, classical and marginal economic theories, and social and strategic interactions, as well as an analysis of both price-making and price-taking firms.
