Economics

In economics, among other things, the following questions are discussed intensively:

• How can you explain and effectively fight unemployment?
• Is increasing globalization a curse or blessing for the German economy?
• German society is aging. What are the economic policy challenges?
• What sustainable effects can be expected from the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol on CO2 reduction?
• Are tuition fees unsocial? How do markets work, e.g. for education?

If you are interested in such questions, economics has a wide range of activities: you learn to understand complicated phenomena of the economy. This gives you a sound basis for making your own decisions.
