Economics Taster Session: Understanding the Cost of Living Crisis

Time: 4.30pm to 5.30pm

Join our Economics Taster Session and explore the economics behind some of the biggest issues affecting everyday life. You’ll discover how inflation, interest rates, money supply and energy prices influence household finances, businesses and living standards, and see how economic theory helps us make sense of the news.

During this interactive session, you’ll explore:

• Inflation & interest rates – why prices rise and how the Bank of England responds
• Money & the economy – how changes in the money supply can affect spending and growth
• Energy prices – the economics behind one of the UK’s most important household costs
• Markets & regulation – including the debate around nationalising public utilities
• Economics in the real world – connecting economic theory to current events and policy debates
