Paper Summary:

This paper examines how macroeconomics is the study of economics in terms of whole systems, especially with reference to general levels of output and income and to the interrelations among sectors of the economy. In order to demonstrate macroeconomics in motion, it examines a company called Western Reserve Life (WRL), briefly summarizes an article called "Toward a Revolution in Macroeconomics", and relates the article to WRL through a discussion on supply and demand, pricing, and international factors.

From the Paper:

"International factors play an important role in the success of WRL. The world is constantly changing, and major changes could affect investor sentiment. This is one area that the article written by Douglas failed to mention. The best example of this is the war on terrorism. The United States declared war on Iraq earlier this year and sent hundreds of thousands of American troops overseas to liberate the people from their tyrant leader. The American people rallied behind their government and American sentiment was high. Prior to the war, the American economy was lagging and had been in a slump for almost three years. Although economic recovery is slow and the process has just begun, the war stimulated the economy."
