- What in this chapter made you think about an economic concept differently than your previous beliefs?
- What new questions do you have now about the US economy based on this chapter?
- If you already took Macroeconomics, what is your strongest memory from the material you covered in that class?
- I don’t believe there was anything in Chapter 1 that made me think differently than my previous beliefs. I recently took MacroEcon 100 and the chapters of both books are the same. Having gone through MacroEcon and the way I think about the world (through an economists way of thinking) I believe chapter 1 was just standard information to me.
- I always continue to have questions about the economy and the way the fed is working the money supply, the way congress is coming up with and enforcing laws and taxes, and the way our industries are adapting and changing to meet the needs of their customers, while always trying to improve profits, and how this ultimately leads to higher country productivity. I love the study of economics and I am excited to continue learning.
- I did already take Macro and I just loved graphing the trade offs and seeing the relationships and connections between things like labor, or monetary supply. I really like playing out the different scenarios to try and find the right balance.
