GRAY SKITTERY
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who is confused by the number available goods that you could buy, often to the point of buying nothing. Family and friends are inclined to intervene whenever you are stopped on the street by a survey taker or pollster. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time flipping through mail order catalogs looking to buy either a T-shirt commemorating last Friday (you know why) or a rotisserie oven that can also toast bread. Be on the lookout for gnomes hiding in cypress trees. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter W, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 032673. Your preferred shopping venue is mail order catalogs. Your special symbol is the question mark (?).
Is this You?
As a Gray Skittery, you are ambivalent, indecisive, and uncertain. You are in a constant struggle between the forces of demand and supply, production and consumption, good and evil... and you're losing the battle. You have trouble making decisions and choosing from among the seemingly infinite number of options that you perpetually face. Your shopping experiences are inevitably confusing.
This isn't me! What am I?

AGGREGATE DEMAND CURVE A graphical representation of the relation between aggregate expenditures on real production and the price level, holding all ceteris paribus aggregate demand determinants constant. The aggregate demand (AD) curve is one side of the graphical presentation of the aggregate market. The other side is occupied by the long-run aggregate supply curve and/or the short-run aggregate supply curve. The negative slope of the aggregate demand curve captures the inverse relation between aggregate expenditures on real production and the price level. This negative slope is attributable to the interest-rate, real-balance, and net-export effects.

The Economics Of Dueling POLITICAL VIEWSThere seems to be a disturbance on the steps of the Shady Valley City Hall. Why it's the twins, Donna and Rhonda, engaged in yet another of their long-running, and overly heated, political arguments. Donna, you see, is a devoted Democrat and Rhonda is a rigid Republican. They haven't found much to agree on since, well, come to think of it they've never agreed on anything. In their current debate, Donna is making a strident case for stricter regulation of the banking industry and Rhonda is championing the virtues of free enterprise. I had better hitch up my jogging pants and intervene before their argument comes to blows -- again. While I do, let's ponder the source of differing political views.
