PURPLE SMARPHIN
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who considers shopping an interesting intellectual exercise. Family and friends treat you as a walking encyclopedia, which is okay with you. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time searching for rummage sales seeking to buy either a looseleaf notebook binder or hand lotion, a big bottle of hand lotion. Be on the lookout for crowded shopping malls. 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 891780. Your preferred shopping venue is the Internet. Your special symbol is the exclamation point (!).
Is this You?
As a Purple Smarphin, you are the brightest and most intelligent person you know. And that goes for shopping, too. You know exactly what you want. You know exactly what it costs. You know exactly when and where to buy. But, of course, shopping is only one of the many activities that attracts your intellectual attention. You shop when you need to and buy if have to, but shopping is not the end all of your life.
This isn't me! What am I?

This is one of three effects underlying the negative slope of the aggregate demand curve associated with a movement along the aggregate demand curve and a change in aggregate expenditures. The other two are real-balance effect and net-export effect.

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.
