In this course, we seek to elucidate our role as consumers in society and demonstrate the usefulness of economic perspectives in understanding not just the economy, but society more broadly. We are all consumers in many ways. We consume physical products, of course, but we also consume art, media, information, policy, and natural resources. This course will use economics to shed light on these many dimensions of consumption. We will begin by establishing some key economic principles and themes.
