This book is meant to simplify and inspire readers to find an interest in economics. The book also serves as a reference guide for students of economics. It is a useful guide when studying for an AP exam or Economics tests.I have been inspired to write The Practical Guide to Micro and Macro Economics by my students. I have yet to come across a student that did not seem perplexed by the plethora of definitions concocted by ivory-tower elites to say the obvious. I always tell my students to think of their everyday life. Do you have a hobby? Do you like to shop? Do you like sports? Do you enjoy traveling and meeting new people? Then you are interested in Economics. Once I gauge my students, I give examples that pertain to their lives and show them how this seemingly convoluted term is actually a basic tenet of our everyday existence.
