This course follows the AP Macroeconomics course but at a more manageable pace, with optional challenging concepts that might or might not be covered based on students' needs. Different from microeconomics, macroeconomics focuses on the "big picture," including broad issues such as GDP, inflation, and interest rates. It is suggested to take the two courses together as they are taught together at BHS and also require similar critical thinking skills.
