The class develops the principles governing markets where households seek to maximize their well-being with limited income as they interact with firms focused on profit maximization. The resulting exchanges take place under varying market conditions, which are typically shaped by government policies. The outcomes of participants' behavior can be evaluated from the point of view of economic efficiency or other standards of value. Does the market deliver the best solution? Under what circumstances? These questions are applied to traditional markets as well as to situations that reflect actual, social challenges in the modern economy, such as pollution and climate change, discrimination, inequality, and others.

Special attention will be paid to discussing the positive economic impact of diversity and the negative economic impact of discrimination, alongside existing systemic trends in the US economy.
