Macroeconomics looks at the big picture of the economy. It helps us understand things like how a country's overall money, prices, and jobs are doing, and how the government can make things better. This course offers an in-depth exploration of vital macroeconomic concepts, equipping students with the knowledge and analytical skills necessary to understand the broader economy. By the end of this course, students will have developed the tools to think critically about GDP, inflation, unemployment, financial markets, labor markets, and growth. This knowledge will empower them to make informed economic decisions, participate in economic discussions, and better understand the world's dynamics.
