Practical Economics Education and Resources for Youth through JA!
The COVID-19 crisis has drawn much attention to how our mixed market economy works, with all its strengths and weaknesses. It has brought to the forefront the concept of scarcity and the importance of strategic decision making guided by our core economic principles. Consumers and business owners everywhere are talking. Market forces have shown us how demand shifters and supply shifters work.
By understanding the basics of the economy, you will join economists in understanding what contributes to overall prosperity. The heart of a healthy economy—what makes it beat—is how we move together through cooperation and mutually advantageous exchanges.
We are in this together. By taking the right steps and learning from our mistakes, we can move through the crisis to recovery and on to the next expansion.
Sincerely,
JA of Southeastern Michigan Team
