Basic Economics Lesson 3 - Prices and Production

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Economics can be hard to explain and not very interesting for learners. This video does a good job of explaining economic theory with clear examples, but it doesn't captivate its viewers. Production, price, and economic options are discussed. Time vs. cost, capital goods, and production costs are also covered.
