The content of the course is formed on the basis of introduction to mainstream economics. In this respect the
content is similar to the introductory economic course which is obligatory for the first semester students at the
Faculty of Humanities. Therefore, the course might also help students to prepare for this exam or to understand
introductory economics better.
