I think everyone should be required to take an introductory course in school.
Either that or sign away their right to vote.
50% of government platforms are based on economics - taxation policy, balanced budgets vs deficits, trade agreements, rent control, minimum wages, etc. People really need a basic understanding of these things to be prepared to make reasonable voting decisions.

Yes, you use economics everyday - when you go to Wal-Mart and buy a candy bar you are using a part of economics.
Definition: "The social science that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services and with the theory and management of economies or economic systems"

It depends on what you plan to study in the future. If you intend to do sciences, then no, stats may be better. Economics are for people doing math, business, etc...

I'd think so, it'd show the grand scheme of the ebb and flow of money. Plus, it wouldn't hurt not to be ignorant.
