"Markets are central institutions of a modern society. If you understand markets, you have a chance of understanding what is happening in your time. If you don't, you don't." -- Martin Mayer
Economics 101 is an introduction to the concerns and methods of economics, covering both microeconomic and macroeconomic principles.
