Economics

If you take Macroeconomics with Professor Ahsan Habib, he will use the language of economics to explain to you why a Kit-Kat candy bar cost so much less in 1992. It's all part of inflation, an important player in the way money drives business. As Professor Habib teaches, mysterious phrases like Consumer Price Index and Gross Domestic Product will suddenly take on real meaning.
