BROWN PRAGMATOX
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who doesn't place a particularly high value on frivolous things, like matching socks. Family and friends occasionally strap large packages to your back for no apparent reason. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time looking for the new strip mall out on the highway seeking to buy either a birthday greeting card for your father or a T-shirt commemorating the first day of spring. Be on the lookout for rusty deck screws. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter G, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 540771. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).
Is this You?
As a Brown Pragmatox, you are down-to-earth and practical. You are hard working and industrious. You are frugal to the point that you might even refrain from making a purchase that you really, really need. Doing so often causes problems down the road. You definitely go with function over form and substance over style.
This isn't me! What am I?

INTERNATIONAL MARKET A graphical model used to analyze the trade between two nations based on the domestic markets for a particular good in each nation. The international market combines the excess demand (or import demand) from one country with the excess supply (or export supply) from another to illustrate how two nations undertake mutually beneficial trade. The international market model also can be used to analyze the impact of tariffs, import quotas, and export subsidies.

A Random Walk Through Some ECONOMIC STATISTICSA pedestrian must always be on guard during any economic excursion, especially when passing the Sylvester J. Peabody Federal Office Building here in Shady Valley. You never know when a window will burst open sending a barrage of glass slivers and economic statistics haphazardly into the street. This is usually followed by a pointy-headed economist who pokes his pointy head through the remaining shards of glass to adamantly declare that there's absolutely, positively NO RECESSION! But he'll recheck the numbers just in case there really is one. WATCH OUT! DUCK!
