We explain basic macroeconomic and international economics concepts. We follow a nontechnical approach to analyse how governments use both fiscal and monetary policy to influence outcomes such as inflation, growth, employment, national debt and deficit. In addition, we discuss the basic principles of free trade, exchange rates and the balance of payments. By handling macroeconomic data from different countries, we derive conclusions about countries’ present and future. We debate the suitability of specific policies for the given national and international economic situation and anticipate their impact on trade and globalization.
Acquire the ability to form and defend your position in contemporary debates on international economics and globalization, such as the need for higher/lower interest rates or fiscal stimulus vs. austerity. Gain the necessary knowledge to assess the economic risks of doing business in a specific country or region.
