Video Transcript

micro economics and macro economics have some similarities, but they also have key differences in micro economics. You're going to study on individuals and their decision making processes, as well as large scale companies and their decision making process. However, you will not be focusing on the economy as a whole and micro economics. You focus on principles that affect the economy in the long run and the short run the economy as a whole, convict eight either a whole sector of business or and her government, such as the United States of America and micro economics. You tend to focus on the decisions that an individual can make to better his of her business and micro economics. It's focused primarily on policy and what the government can do do their slow down or speed up the economy.
