2 VERY bad things in macroeconomics

  • unemployment

  • inflation

poverty = starvation jk we’ve always had a lot of food so even poor people eat

but poor people are depressed they feel worthless because they can’t provide

Unemployment - not the same as non employment. age 16-64 and If you want a job but cannot
