This chapter introduces many of the fundamental concepts in economics and covers a wide variety of concepts. It begins with the definition of economics; then the economic perspective is discussed. After that, the discussion moves to the development of economic theory. The individual’s and society’s economizing problems are examined using a budget line and production possibilities curves where economic growth is addressed. The Last Word deals with common mistakes students make when thinking about economics. | Lecture Macroeconomics 20 e Chapter 1 - McConnell Brue Flynn
