AmosWEB means Economics with a Touch of Whimsy!

ABSTRACTION: Simplifying the complexities of the real world by ignoring (hopefully) unimportant details while doing economic analysis. Abstraction is often criticized because it's, well, it's JUST NOT REALISTIC. However, when done correctly (ignoring things that JUST DON'T MATTER), then the pursuit of knowledge is greatly enhanced by abstraction. For example, when travelling cross country along a high-speed interstate highway, a paper road map is a handy tool. It shows towns and cities along the way, the major intersections, rest stop locations, and other important points of interest. However, it ignores unimportant details. It doesn't realistically show the location of every tree, bush, or blade of grass. Why bother? This information won't enhance your road trip.

STABILITY

Eliminating macroeconomic fluctuations in prices, employment, and production. Stability is primarily directed toward keeping inflation in check and avoiding high or unpredictable inflation rates that create uncertainty and cause haphazard redistribution of income and wealth. This is one of the five economic goals and one of three macroeconomic goals. The other goals are economic growth, full employment, efficiency, and equity.
