Structures

Understanding the economy requires a basic
knowledge of the key flows that influence economic activity. How do interest
rates affect households and businesses? How does government policy influence
GDP? Forming a view on these and many other policy questions requires some
knowledge of the economy’s structure.

Imagine a
bathtub full of water, where the water level represents the level of
employment or economic activity.
There are
two drains on the bathtub: taxes and savings. The government collects taxes
and then uses it to fund a lot of other activities like health, education,
justice, social welfare, etc. The government can control how much it spends
through its annual Budget.
Savings are invested either by households or by businesses. So we could put our savings towards a house, or we could it put in the bank. The bank would then lend it to businesses to invest. That comes back to the economy. |
