I will not answer questions related to course content during individual appointments. This course (eco102) covers macroeconomics, which looks at a nation"s economy-wide phenomena such as the total size of an economy, unemployment, in ation and the interaction between national economies. I am often asked, usually after a disappointing term test, how to better master principles of eco- nomics. I always come back to two key strategies. First, because the subject matter is cumulative, do not fall behind.

Macroeconomics

Macroeconomics is perhaps the most divisive area of economics when applied to political decision making, and macroeconomists divide themselves into different schools of thought. Two of the biggest camps are the Keynesians and the Monetarists. Keynesians and post-Keynesians follow the theories of John Maynard Keynes, the most-celebrated economist of the 20^th century who proposed that government stabilize the economy with the use of the fiscal policy. Monetarists, on the other hand, follow the teachings of Friedrich Hayek. For this assignment do some research on the ideas of Keynes and Hayek. Focus on the "big picture" of what their main ideas are and how they have influenced policymakers. Then write a 4- to 5-page paper addressing the following questions:

Discuss the policies that Keynes and Hayek advocated regarding how the federal government should manage the economy.
