Economic conditions are analyzed in the many economic forces and institutions as they endure through the maze of laws, practices, and controls. Our analysis after several depressions, recessions, and two World Wars is enriched in many areas: labor problems, pricing and market- ing hazards, credit and monetary controls, fiscal policy, industrial enterprise and its regulation, and cyclical fluctuations in employment and na- tional income. No solution today resolves to- morrow ' s complications, but we learn that the economic forces which most endure are those promoting community living along with personal well-being. It is the objective of the Regis ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT to instill in the student the principles and values necessary to make an ethi- cal evaluation of the economic conditions in view of the forces stated above. This objective is ac- complished not only by lectures in the classroom and from outside experts in the field, but also by field trips sponsered by the department. Well, I ' ll be dammed r - i,|5s
