Economist:Micro
Links and Resources
August 2011
Life can be baffling and chaotic,
and sometimes it is hard to make sense of it all. The answer is economics.
It is at the heart of everything we do. Microeconomics, or small economics,
is concerned with the individual parts of the economy, rather than
the economy as a whole but is concerned with many of the big issues
of the day from oil prices to speed dating.
