Macroeconomics and Microeconomics

The term microeconomics is the study of the economic behavior of individual consumers, firms, and industries and the distribution of production and income among them. It considers individuals both as suppliers of labor and capital and as the ultimate consumers of the final product. On the other hand, it analyses firms both as suppliers of products and as consumers of labor and capital. 

Scarcity and decreasing resources are some of the basic principles with both macroeconomy and microeconomy forming part. As a result part of this has been dedicated to explaining macroeconomy & microeconomy.

Economy as the Science of Scarcity: Scarcity is the fundamental and inevitable phenomenon that creates the need of economy science. If it were not for the scarcity of time, resources, information, consumed goods, peace and good will on the earth, human beings would not lack anything.

Scarcity sad to say, is part of our world and is a fact. There is not time or enough resources to satisfy all the desires, therefore people have to make difficult decisions about what to produce and consume, and if we cannot get ahold of everything, at least we can have the best considering the circumstances.

Measuring the Economy: Part of what is going to be highlighted in this site has to do with how economists measure the gross domestic product (GDP), the value of all goods and services produced in the economy in a given period, generally every three months or a year. Getting ahold of this total is completely indispensable because if you cannot measure how an economy is behaving, it is not possible to know if the governmental policies to improve it are beneficial or harmful.

Inflation measures how the prices change throughout time. This theme is very important because the high inflation rates generally presents themselves along with huge economic problems, amongst them severe recessions and a country losing its capacity to pay off its debts.

One reason why it is also important to study inflation is because a deficient governmental policy is the only one to blame in high inflation, which means that the governments are fully responsible when big inflation comes into the picture.
