“The purpose of AP Macroeconomics is to explore the principles of economics that apply to an economic system as a whole. You’ll use graphs, charts, and data to analyze, describe, and explain economic concepts.
AP Macroeconomics is a great course that gives you insight to supply and demand as the foundation of economics. You will also receive in depth analysis of gross domestic product, unemployment, inflation, international trade, and The Federal Reserve. These are topics you will use in our everyday lives as an adult. I hope you consider this class for great understanding on the developments of our economy.”
