Principles of Macroeconomics / Unit 18   MAC 1732 short lesson, about 20 seconds

What the Models Cannot Decide

Captions available

The idea

The models say what follows from what. They do not say whose interests should prevail, how to weigh a job against a price, or what a government should do. Those are questions about values.

In practice

Both sides of most policy arguments use the same diagram correctly.

Where people slip

An exam question asks what the model implies, not what you would choose.
