UNIT III 2017
INTRODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS
MARKET STRUCTURES, BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS
AND LABOR
The focal points of this unit is the role
and workings of business and labor. We will examine the different types of business
organizations including oligopolies and monopolies and the different types of
market structures. We will then shift to focus on labor. We will analyze the
evolution of labor in the Unites States. We will also look at how it affects
the economics system and business. This will lead us into monetary policy right
before we start focusing on AP Government.
