This course is designed to give the student an understanding of macroeconomic concepts and related issues. First, lets us discuss what is macroeconomics.
Most people are familiar with the idea of economics.
It covers information such as jobs, inflation, economic growth, interest rates, some guy named Alan Greenspan that always seems upset by good news, as well as politicians taking credit for all of that good news and blaming the others for the bad events. For many students, economics is a required course that seems sort of interesting and even useful if they are going to have dinner with their Uncle Mort, the banker. But you won't find too many students discussing economic news at the ball game or at a party with friends. But the economy affects our lives constantly. From our employment opportunities, longevity and potential for advancement, to the price we pay for food at the grocery.
