I've taken none of them. I've only taken APUSH. I'm really jelly, though, that they offer AP Econ at your school. I'm planning to take AP Gov, though.
By the way, how was the APUSH exam? |

| I don't think taking government classes would be a good idea, it'd be better to learn on your own. |

1.) I live in Czechia, so we most likely haven't got AP's. 2.) I haven't reached high school yet. |

| I'm counting on AP government to be fairly unbiased. However, I've been made aware that the teacher is a staunch conservative. Lol. |

"people take APs for universities"
That doesn't change my opinion in the slightest.
"Fairly true, it is good to develop your own opinions, but it is also better to learn about others."
Exactly. When I tell someone to learn on his/her own, what I mean is that that person should read the books about the idea from their researchers without middlemen, in other words, you should read Proudhon's books if you want to learn about Mutualism.
"I'm counting on AP government to be fairly unbiased. However, I've been made aware that the teacher is a staunch conservative. Lol."
I don't care if they are biased or not. My issue with government classes is that they an't teach you enough about the topic. |

What is AP Macro/Micro? ___ Macroeconomics and microeconomics
Macroeconomics is what most people think of when they hear of economics. Market trends, recessions, elasticity.
Microeconomics is a little known field. It studies the what and why of individual people. Why people behave the way they do, from a statistical viewpoint. |

So it's more closely related to sociology? |

| You could say it's related, but sociology is the study of why people join groups and how they interact in groups. Microeconomics is often stuff like buying habits and measuring the inclination toward altruism. |

| Microeconomics could be defined as the study of incentives on the scale of businesses and individuals, and how and why people make decisions based on these incentives. |
