In this episode we will be exploring what economics is in the context of it being a social science, distinguishing the two major types of economics – macroeconomics and microeconomics, and an overview of the several sub-fields of economics. In addition, there will be a discussion of qualifications that are required to become an economist and the skills that are essential for a career in economics. 

Founded by a final year Economics student, this podcast aims to explore the revolutions in economic thought and the economists that have shaped the modern economy. As an economics student, I know the importance of understanding economic concepts and terminology as you progress through your study and immersing yourself in the theories of the greatest economists in history that will inspire the future generations of economic thought.  This podcast has been created to support economics students with understanding the essential concepts and terminology, provide in depth analyses of historical economic revolutions, and assist future and current economists with employment outlooks and skills and experiences that will allow them to have a successful career.
