Macroeconomics

0 Conversations

Essentially just like microeconomics, but bigger. Douglas Adams' 'green bits of paper' had no idea how much trouble they'd cause when they started to move between people, and around the economy as a whole. People soon realised that they could find new ways to waste time by looking at where and why this money travelled around, and why the amount it was worth got smaller over time. Rather than the obvious answer of a nice, clean bit of paper being a lot nicer than an old tatty screwed up bit, they invented macroeconomics.
