Description
In the Spring/Summer of 2024 a unique series of seminars was held in Oxford UK. The attending group of students were split into three groups and each group was given a topic seemingly unrelated to Economics. Their task was to devise a short talk using the topic as a prompt, on the theme of Economics.
These talks were NOT filmed but some notes were taken and this course is the result of this note-taking.
The purpose is to show how many many seemingly not-related-to-Economics topics can be taken and with careful application be developed into a short talk whereby economics may be learned.
The topics here are:
Horses:
Economic perspectives of the Equine Industry
Economic impact of horse tourism
Summer dnamics in the Equine industry
Supply chain and price fluctuations
Policy and Economic planning
Future outlook and opportunities
Sunshine
The sunny side of Economics:
