The basic fundamentals of Economics are infact taught at school but as an option from GCSE level onwards. Business Studies also includes elements of Finance, Banking and Economics but I picked Economics as a seperate subject so not sure how deep Business Studies goes. One of the most interesting subjects I studied at school and was pretty popular so don't be too hasty to become grumpy

I would agree that it should be a compulsory subject though. I don't pretend to know the inner workings of the stuff discussed above with my almighty GCSE in Economics but it gave me a grounding in the stuff that makes the world go round.
