Hello @angeluxx,

That is a very readable, digestible blog, presented in a way that just about anyone can understand.

I like macroeconomics. I like the abstract ideas, the way especially macroeconomic trends relate to events in society. Although I don't feel macroeconomic data has much to do with my ever day spending, actually it does.

For example, as a retiree I have savings in 401ks. Since I'm conservative I have these in CDs. I watch the inflation rate and try to follow what the Fed is going to do when I renew my CDs. That's microeconomics influenced by macroeconomics (I think). The interest rate on the CDs can vary by as much as 3 points. That makes a big difference in yield, and in the amount of money I have.

Any time a writer can make a difficult subject accessible, that writer has succeeded. You did that here :)

I agree with you, @angeluxx, she's brilliant at reflecting something so simple about such a complex topic. That's a gift; I understood it completely.

Wow, thank you so much for your kind words and your interpretation of the post. I suppose the macro and the micro are completely intertwined, so to speak.
Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting. That's very kind of you.

I used to teach. That's how I'd break down the textbook sometimes. Had to make it so the kids would find the material accessible. Just what you did here :)

Good (and accessible) writing can truly work like "magic" with certain types of subjects.

This post is a good example of it.
