	SL 151 Principles of Economics Kevin Christ, Moench Hall, A-203D	"...economics does not furnish a body of settled conclusions immediately applicable to policy. It is a method rather than a doctrine, an apparatus of the mind, which helps its possessor to draw correct conclusions.” John Maynard Keynes
"The Market Place, Norwich"                 John Sell Cotman (1782-1842)

This is a fast-paced one-quarter social science survey course that introduces students to traditional or mainstream economics.  It reviews a particular view of how individuals, groups, firms and societies make choices given limited resources.  In particular, the course emphasizes how these choices are made in modern market economies, and explores how such economies work as a whole.  There are no formal prerequisites for this course.  It is required for the economics major and minor, and is suitable as a "Self and Society" elective.  Furthermore, this course is a prerequisite for almost all other economics courses offered at Rose-Hulman.
