 Our new offering in AP Microeconomics is an exploration of the human quest for happiness. Whether investigating the psychology behind rational consumption or the power of the profit motive, you will take a deep dive into some of the most basic questions of how we order our lives. The theoretical analysis of microeconomic concepts will intentionally be applied to the real world. In AP Microeconomics, we care about the intersection of theory and practice. For example, is it true that most consumers make decisions by doing a strict cost-benefit analysis even when grabbing a burger? Do all firms really only care about the bottom line? Students should be prepared to question the fundamental assumptions of the discipline and assess their application in the world. This course is taught with the belief that the study of economics offers valuable insights into acquiring the most critical resource of all, wisdom.
