In studying economics you will learn how individuals and society make choices about how scarce resources are used, what products are produced and who gets to consume them. These choices depend on evaluating costs, benefits, risks and effects on others. The study of history is the study of change and continuity in human society through time. Scottish history is the study of Scotland’s past.
