Study Notes
Economics is a broad field that involves studying how individuals interact with each other and make decisions about resource allocation. One of its key branches is Macroeconomics which focuses on the big picture aspects such as national income, economic growth, unemployment rate, inflation rate, interest rates, international trade, etc. It has two main components—aggregate demand and aggregate supply. Aggregate demand refers to total consumer spending while aggregate supply indicates how much product can be produced given available resources like labor and capital goods. Macroeconomists work hard towards studying these two sides of economics so they can predict future trends accurately and help governments take appropriate measures against any problems arising due to them. They also try to find ways by which government policies could improve an economy's performance. In summary, macroeconomics provides understanding into how economies function overall and helps in making informed decisions regarding their governance.
