School:Economics
From Wikiversity
Economics is a social science that deals with the production and distribution of goods and services based on scarce resources and commodities.
The Wikiversity School of Economics is currently seeking both motivated students as well as economists and instructors to contribute to the school's development and to define its major areas of research and study. All contributions are lasting so that all may access them, and also quite appreciated!
The objectives of this department are multiple:
- Gather economists together who are interested in collaborating on or contributing to the development of top-notch economics textbooks for Wikibooks or who are also interested in creating and hosting classes or other learning resources.
- Guide students of all backgrounds and levels of economic comprehension to a greater understanding of Economics.
